About Trendy Beat Network

Trendy Beat Network operates as a digital service provider for the music industry, founded by Aman Bhangu in 2013. Bhangu, who began as a data entry specialist and web developer, was inspired to start the company after a conversation with music director Ramandeep Singh about the distribution challenges faced by independent artists in India. Initially, Bhangu faced difficulties understanding digital rights management but gained exposure by working with major record labels in Punjab.

The London-based company functions as a digital music aggregator and distribution platform, serving a global clientele that includes brands, record labels, and independent artists. Its core services include digital music and video distribution, anti-piracy enforcement, and YouTube marketing. The company enables artists to monetize their music across numerous platforms and offers tools to manage their online presence. By 2019, the firm had transitioned from a distributor to an aggregator, serving over 4,100 clients in more than 190 countries. It is an invite-only platform, with client onboarding subject to catalog verification.

A significant aspect of Trendy Beat Network's business is its anti-piracy and law enforcement service, which involves taking down illegal uploads. The company has provided this service for notable clients, including for the movie "Race 3" and Diljit Dosanjh's track "El-Sueno". Since its inception, the company has removed over 500,000 illegal links on behalf of its clients. In May 2017, it launched a subsidiary called FMD Media (Free Music Distribution) to allow indie users to upload content directly.
