About BBN Music
We're a German music-tech company building the operating system for independent labels, from first release to sold-out show.
Who we are
BBN Music GmbH is a music-tech company from Germany, and we build the operating system for independent record labels. We started where most label problems start: distribution, royalty accounting and the paperwork between a label and its artists. Today bbn.music covers that whole chain: you release to 35+ stores in 195 countries, get revenue back split the way the contract says, and keep your contracts next to the catalogue they govern. We're a small team and we work close to the labels we build for.
What we build
Two products, one account. The BBN Label Suite is the back office for independent record labels: distribution through our delivery network, royalty accounting, per-song revenue splits with escrow protection for artists, opt-in publishing administration and digital contracts. The BBN Event Suite is the booking back office for promoters and booking teams: requests, event data and acts in one place. That's the recorded side and the live side of independent music on one account, so you don't have to pick. Solo artists start free and keep 97% of revenue. Or pay €12 a year and keep 100%.

How we work
Product-led, close to the scene. What you see on bbn.music is what labels use today, and what labels ask for decides what we build next. Feedback has a short path. The people answering support@bbn.music and reading the Discord write the code. We publish in English and German because our scene speaks both. We'd rather tell you plainly what the platform does today, and what's next on the list, than sell a slide deck that's months ahead of reality.
Where to find us
We build in the open. Labels, artists and the BBN team share one Discord server. We post updates on Instagram, longer thoughts on Mastodon and our code on GitHub. The team reads all four channels.
- Discord: discord.com/invite/dJevjw2fCe — community and the team
- Instagram: @bbn.music — releases, features, scene
- Mastodon: chaos.social/@bbn
- GitHub: github.com/bbn-music — our open-source work
Contact
The fastest way to reach us is WhatsApp: +49 171 7525811. Email works the same — everything goes to support@bbn.music: a label moving its catalogue, an artist with a payout question, press, a partner with an idea. The people reading those messages build the platform. Prefer to talk in public? The Discord server is open.
