The Team

As a member led and music focused organization, the senior leadership and our entire team is here only to serve the needs of our members and support the artistry of their music. Merlin has offices in London, New York, and Tokyo, but we think locally, regionally, and globally to add value to our members.

The Board

The Merlin Board* is from the membership and then voted onto the Board by the membership—that means the oversight of Merlin is by the very people who are most vested in our future. Our Board is equally split between North America, Europe and Rest of World. This makes the Merlin Board a true reflection of the diversity and global representation from our community.

Merlin has become a vital organisation for us. From negotiating deals with DSPs to the extra marketing benefits and pitching tools, we truly believe they have independents best interest at heart. Our sector would be poorer without Merlin.

Merlin is simply the perfect partner for this business: always updated, interested in new partners, constantly improving terms with the stores, and always available for suggestions.

Ugo de Crescenzo, CEO

We are a hands-on organization that likes direct contact with our DSPs. Merlin is an ideal partner in that they've given us direct access to all DSP relationships and the best deals possible while maintaining a frictionless relationship with the DSPs.

Merlin offers premium deals, and that's a big benefit of working with them. Merlin's quality of dealing with services is top-notch, and allows us to focus completely on content marketing without any hassles.
