[Music Business Worldwide](https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/symphonic-inks-deal-to-bring-hundreds-of-thousands-of-songs-to-roblox-with-artists-paid-royalties-for-all-plays/) reported the agreement, announced on November 12.\n\n## How the Symphonic Roblox Catalog Works\n\n[Symphonic Distribution](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00003je/symphonic-distribution) said it will collect the royalties and pay them out to rightsholders in line with their publishing contracts. The songs are now available in the Roblox Creator Store, where developers can hear a 15-second preview of each track before adding it to a game. Tracks can be placed in games via sound objects, jukeboxes, and other items, according to Symphonic.\n\nThe agreement also covers use of the music in Moments, a tab in the [Roblox](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00000hf/roblox) app that shows players clips of other users' gameplay and lets them launch into the games featured. Roblox first introduced Moments in beta in 2025, letting users record gameplay clips of up to 30 seconds, edit them, add music, and share them. The catalog spans Latin, hip-hop, pop, rock, and electronic music from what Symphonic described as up-and-coming and established artists.\n\n\"We are always looking for new ways to put our artists in front of listeners, so working with Roblox just makes sense,\" said Jorge Brea, Founder and CEO of Symphonic. \"They have already done such a great job integrating music into their platform through live online events, and we want to be a big part of their move into music discovery across environments.\"\n\nJessica Meehan, Head of Music Partnerships at Roblox, said the partnership enriches the platform's library with sounds reflecting its community's diverse preferences, citing Symphonic's expansive library of music from Latin American artists as mirroring the creator population's growth in the region. \"At the same time, we're able to provide artists an immersive platform to reach new listeners and cultivate dedicated fans,\" Meehan said.\n\n## Symphonic's Catalog Financing and Deals\n\nSymphonic launched Symphonic NEXT in April 2026, a program connecting independent artists, labels, and managers with catalog financing, royalty advances, and acquisition opportunities, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records list a March 2026 acquisition of Distro Nation, bringing Tier A YouTube status, a proprietary YouTube monetization dashboard, and more than 200 managed artists. Symphonic raised $37 million in a Series B round led by NewSpring Growth with participation from Ballast Point Ventures in January 2022.\n\n## Earlier Symphonic Partnerships\n\nIn November 2026, Auddia announced an affiliate partnership between its Discovr Radio platform and Symphonic, its first with a music distributor, giving Symphonic's artists preferred pricing on Discovr Radio, Stock Titan reported. Symphonic integrated MassiveMusic's audio delivery into its TransferTrack catalog migration tool in September 2026, announced September 16, so labels with catalogs already in MassiveMusic no longer need to upload audio files, Music Business Worldwide reported. In August 2026, Maddy Maznaz signed a two-year distribution partnership with Symphonic covering major digital streaming platforms, Modernghana reported.\n\nThe Roblox deal follows the platform's July partnership with Too Lost, which added thousands of Too Lost-distributed tracks to the Roblox Creator Store, and a 2024 DistroKid deal that let independent artists opt in to having their music made available via an invite-only beta.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
