“Our next phase of expansion in the United States solidifies our position as a global leading music provider for businesses while making way for innovative, data-driven solutions,” he added.

In addition to the representation of products and services, the deal also includes an exclusive option for Stingray to acquire Space Factory Media at a pre-determined purchase price.
