Orion Distribution Announces Collaboration with beatBread to Expand Artist Funding Access

Amsterdam - October 30, 2025 - Orion Distribution, a global music distribution company operating under Warner Music Group's ADA infrastructure, has announced a new collaboration with beatBread, the leading music-funding platform backed by more than $3 billion in available capital.

The partnership allows qualified artists and record labels distributed through Orion to access advance funding and catalog-buyout opportunities, helping them scale their careers while retaining full ownership and creative control.

Empowering Independent Creators

Through the agreement, Orion will identify and refer eligible artists, songwriters, and labels to beatBread's data-driven funding platform, which tailors offers based on streaming performance and catalog history.

"Our mission has always been to empower creators through freedom, transparency, and opportunity," said Sherman Smith, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Orion Distribution. "This collaboration gives our artists access to meaningful funding - from thousands to millions of dollars - without sacrificing their masters or independence."

Financing Innovation for the Independent Sector

beatBread, powered by its proprietary chordCashAI Trademark technology, uses predictive analytics and royalty forecasting to deliver fair, flexible financing. Its broader Global Independent Fund supports a range of distributors and labels, reflecting a new model where financial technology meets music ownership.

By integrating beatBread's funding options into its ecosystem - which already includes digital distribution, playlist pitching, promotion, and rights verification - Orion provides artists with a seamless pathway from release to reinvestment.

Artists distributed via Warner ADA's global network can now use their verified streaming data to qualify for funding that fuels marketing, touring, and production - without giving up rights or control.

Redefining Independence in the Streaming Era

"Artists no longer have to choose between independence and resources," Smith added. "With ADA-powered distribution on one side and beatBread's chordCashAI Trademark technology on the other, we're closing the gap between creativity, ownership, and capital."

The collaboration reflects a wider industry shift toward data-empowered independence, where artists use their own analytics to unlock capital, replacing restrictive label advances with transparent, performance-based funding.
