Building an operational edge in overlooked rights
02 Dec, 2025
The smarter money in music is quietly moving into the overlooked layers of the market, where only a few operators have the infrastructure to compete.
In this episode, we sit down with Tom Tyler, CEO and co-founder of Rezonate Music Rights, to unpack how he and co-founder and hit producer Cam Blackwood are building one of the most differentiated platforms in the space.
Drawing on Tom’s two decades in capital markets and Cam’s studio track record, we dig into Rezonate’s core thesis: producer and mixer royalties that are credible, cash flowing and meaningful in scale, yet historically underserved because they are operationally hard to underwrite.
Tom walks through how they combine transparent liquidity for producers with a purpose-built valuation and data stack, and how their partnership with Bridgepoint is structured to scale capital while keeping culture at the centre of value creation.
