Artists

At Marmoset you're supporting real artists

A group of Marmoset artists and staff standing together in a recording studio smiling at the camera.

We might be a little biased, but we believe our artist community is comprised of some of the most brilliant, kind-hearted and uber-creative musicians out there. They are baristas and carpenters. Photographers and filmmakers. Sisters and brothers. Mothers and fathers. Soul singers and electropop producers. But, most importantly, they are hardworking artists doing what they love, and we support them however we can — whether that's changing the perceived value of music today, advocating for blue collar musicians, or pushing the boundaries of what music licensing can be.

All-time, Marmoset has paid artists over $44,947,956.

With every license and every project, your dollar goes back into the artist community. We’re joined together in our purpose to leave the world a bit better, brighter and more interesting than it was before. Meet some of the hardworking creatives we’re fortunate to partner with and know.

Marmoset's Artists Philosophy

We recognize our position as gatekeepers and feel the weight of that responsibility. We work every day to find opportunities for artists from more backgrounds and more parts of the world. And while we diversify the catalog, we also know that money talks - so we work intentionally to diversify where the money goes, including our annual top earners.

Marmoset opened my eyes to a side of the music industry that I didn’t even know existed and set me on an incredible new path. Everyone that I’ve had the pleasure of working with has been so personable and dedicated to making amazing music. Marmoset puts artists first. That’s clear by the way business is conducted, as well as the detail and time that is put into making sure everyone involved in collaborations are given what they need to produce their best work. I’m so grateful to be a part of the Marmoset community. Here’s to never giving up!
