What MediaTracks Music Ltd does

MediaTracks Music Ltd is a privately held, UK-domiciled independent production music library that licenses pre-cleared music to broadcasters, film studios, and digital media producers. The company's catalog spans eight themed collections — Classical, Football, Commercial Sounds & The Hits, MT Minnies, MT Cymru, Championing Equality, Comedy, and Underscore & Transitions — totaling 1,000+ tracks across roughly 210 albums, accessed via a digital platform and supported by an in-house music supervision team.

The business operates a B2B, sales-led go-to-market targeting music supervisors, editors, and producers at major TV broadcasters (BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Channel 5, Sky), international streamers and studios (HBO, 20th Century Fox, France 5), and music supervision firms (Orchard, Native Music, ThinkSync). Revenue is generated through quote-based licensing fees tied to usage, duration, and distribution scope; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The offering is differentiated by an explicit diversity and inclusion positioning (Championing Equality collection, MT Cymru Welsh artist collection), a dedicated music supervision service for custom briefs, and active participation in UK industry bodies (BPI, UK Music, BFE, ScreenSkills, MPA, RTS).

MediaTracks is founder/management-owned with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiary structure. The company runs writing camps for educational institutions and partnerships with diversity-focused organizations (Music Production for Women, Carousel, Candomusos), and distributes via a direct sales motion plus a partnership with Record Play. There is no public revenue, headcount, or founding date disclosed in the source material.
