The music industry has always separated the tools artists need — streaming on one side, distribution on another, monetisation somewhere else entirely. Oxtune is built to change that by unifying every layer of the music journey into one connected ecosystem.
What is Oxtune?
Oxtune is a global music technology company incorporated in the United Kingdom as Oxtune Ltd. It operates as a parent ecosystem and infrastructure company — owning and powering multiple interconnected products that serve listeners, independent artists, producers, creators, and music businesses worldwide.
Unlike traditional music companies that focus on a single function — whether that is streaming, distribution, or publishing — Oxtune is designed to be the full-stack infrastructure that the modern music industry runs on. Think of it the way you think of large technology companies: one parent organisation, multiple powerful products, all working together as a unified system.
The company's long-term vision is to build an integrated music technology ecosystem that supports every participant in the music industry — from the independent bedroom producer creating beats at midnight, to the emerging artist releasing their debut single, to the global listener discovering music for the first time.
How Oxtune is structured
Oxtune operates as the umbrella company and ecosystem controller. It is the corporate identity, the infrastructure owner, and the long-term strategic layer. It does not operate primarily as a direct consumer product — instead, it builds and owns the products that do.
Currently, the Oxtune ecosystem is built around two flagship products: Aurtiz and Oxtune Distribution. These two products form the foundation of the ecosystem and serve complementary audiences — Aurtiz faces the listener and artist, while Oxtune Distribution serves the creator and the music business.
"Most platforms separate streaming from distribution from creator tools. Oxtune unifies them. That is the infrastructure advantage."
— Tamanjong Joseph, Founder & CEO, Oxtune
The ecosystem philosophy
The core idea behind Oxtune is simple but powerful: music platforms should not only serve listeners — they should equally empower the people who create the music. Most existing platforms have failed to do both at once. Streaming giants optimise for consumption. Distribution services optimise for uploads. Neither fully serves the creator economy.
Oxtune is built around a vertically integrated model. Artists can distribute their music through Oxtune Distribution, have it delivered globally across 150+ platforms — including directly into Aurtiz — and build an audience through Aurtiz's discovery and streaming infrastructure. The same ecosystem that distributes the music also surfaces it to listeners. That is a structural advantage no standalone streaming or distribution company can replicate.
The two flagship products
Aurtiz is the consumer-facing flagship — a music streaming and discovery platform focused on independent artists, producers, and global listeners. It is designed to be a large-scale global music platform built with a creator-first philosophy at its core. Aurtiz operates under its own brand and domain at aurtiz.com.
Oxtune Distribution is the creator infrastructure layer. It handles the backend of music publishing — uploads, delivery to 150+ streaming platforms, royalty tracking, metadata management, and release management. It operates under distribution.oxtune.com, keeping it structurally tied to the parent ecosystem while serving a clearly defined creator audience.
Where Oxtune is headed
The current strategic focus is building Aurtiz and Oxtune Distribution into world-class, scalable products before expanding further. However, the long-term vision is significantly larger. The ecosystem roadmap includes music production tools, creator monetisation infrastructure, AI-powered music systems, licensing platforms, and advanced analytics for artists and labels.
Oxtune is also exploring a future restructuring into a United States Delaware parent company to support global expansion and institutional fundraising — a move that would position the company alongside the world's leading technology infrastructure businesses.
The music industry is ready for a company that thinks in ecosystems, not just products. Oxtune is that company.
