Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Duetti opened its first Nashville Music Row office on August 25, 2026.
  • Duetti now signs 80-plus deals monthly, more than 2.5x last year’s pace.
  • H2 2026 index shows stable multiples and strongest demand in Latin and Country.

What critics are saying

  • Hiller v. Duetti in Southern District New York creates copyright and royalty-chain exposure.
  • Duetti’s business depends on securitization markets; frozen ABS demand cuts acquisition firepower quickly.
  • Crowded creator-finance rivals can compress spreads, making Duetti’s underwriting edge existentially important.

What makes Duetti unique

  • Duetti’s January 2026 Raine-backed financing and securitization stack funds faster catalog buying.
  • The company pioneered a 2024 independent-artist securitization, then repeated it in January 2026.
  • Billboard partnership and H2 2026 Music Finance Index position Duetti as market infrastructure.

Duetti opens new Music Row office.

Duetti opens new Music Row office. Duetti has opened its first Nashville office, located at 1604 16th Ave. S., in the heart of Music Row. Founded in 2022 by CEO Lior Tibon and COO Christopher Nolte, the company partners with independent artists and songwriters to buy, manage and market their catalogs. The company's local roster includes Spencer Crandall, Parson James, Molly Grace, Dave Fenley, Jessie Villa and Ryder Johnson. "The address is deliberate. Music Row has been the working center of Nashville songwriting for more than half a century," says Tibon. "Putting our first Nashville office here says something about how we intend to operate in this city - close to the artists, writers, and publishers we work with." "In this industry, you encounter so many companies that are simply transactional. Duetti has proven to be anything but that," shares Dave Fenley, a Nashville recording artist and Duetti partner. "They've invested in my career, celebrated my wins, and given me a peace of mind that's very hard to find in the music business." Duetti marked the opening with a launch dinner at Geist for artists, managers and industry friends, and an office tour and breakfast for local music publishers. The company recently partnered with The Other Nashville Society (TONS) for a panel titled "Leveraging Your Catalog as an Independent Artist." Lauryn Sink is a staff writer at MusicRow Magazine. Hailing from Lexington, North Carolina, Lauryn is a 2025 graduate of the Hussman School of Journalism and Media at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
