Tigerspring

What Tigerspring does

Tigerspring is an independent music publishing, record label, and artist management company founded in 2006 and headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, with additional offices in Los Angeles and New York. The company represents a roster of approximately 17-20 named creatives split across songwriters (including Mathilde Nyegaard, NEA, Koda, Vera, Clara Malby, Mattis Jacobsen), producers (Sly, Beinir, Benchwarmer, David Mørup, Frederik Carstens, Kepho, KF Reichhardt, Oscars Tapes, Rasmus Søegren, Jonathan Elkær), and recording artists (MGHTY, ROYA, Rumpistol, Saint Clara, Sofia Valdes). Its revenue mechanics derive from publishing administration and royalty collection on co-written works, label services supporting artist releases, and artist management fees, with commercial income supplemented by synchronization licensing into brand campaigns and film trailers.\n\nThe company's core output is co-writing, co-production, and label releases placed with major-label artists. Documented placements include Dua Lipa's "We're Good" (Sly), eight Måneskin tracks including "Rush!" and "SUPERMODEL" (Sly), Shawn Mendes's "Higher" (Sly), Jonas Brothers's "Comeback" (Sly), The Chainsmokers ft. Emily Warren's "Side Effects" (Sly), Sigrid's "It Gets Dark" and "Burning Bridges" (Sly), Zayn's "Die For Me" (NEA), ILLIT's "paw, paw!" (Mathilde Nyegaard), RIIZE's "Odyssey" (Mathilde Nyegaard and Oscar Ögren), Alina Baraz ft. Khalid's "Electric" (Jonathan Elkær), Daniel Seavey's "Time to Time" (Vera), Wendy (Red Velvet)'s "Queen of the Party" (Saint Clara and Dave The Doctor), and Bryant Barnes's "I'd Rather Pretend" (Koda). Sync and brand placements include Apple Watch, Audi, Gordon's Gin, Illy commercial, Lost City trailer, and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, all driven primarily by MGHTY, Rumpistol, or ROYA.\n\nThe business operates with a lean team of 1-10 employees, uses no disclosed proprietary technology platform, and conducts no disclosed funding activity. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market relies on a public portfolio of credits as social proof for attracting new songwriting, production, and artist-management clients, supplemented by per-creative Instagram profiles and a corporate website. No parent company, institutional investor, or acquirer is disclosed; the company appears to operate as a privately held independent.
