Adaptr is Here to Help Build the Next Big Fitness/ Gaming/Social App

Adaptr is a first-of-its-kind platform giving labels and publishers a way to get their catalog into the next big fitness/gaming/ social app.

Before Adaptr, there was no turnkey solution for startups to license and experiment with commercial music – they faced options that are suboptimal for Rights-holders: (1) infringe, (2) use royalty free music, (3) hire expensive music advisors and wait in line, or (4) avoid music altogether.

Our secure API provides instant time to market avoiding licensing and reporting headaches. Adaptr has partnered with Warner Music Group for launch as well as a host of leading independent labels including eOne, DistroKid, BMG, A-Train and ADA along with the associated publishing rights. Let’s do this together!
