Why Quadalpha

The Music You Know.
Without Licensing the Original Recording.

Sometimes the perfect track is a famous song — but licensing the original artist's recording isn't practical for the project or the budget. That's where Quadalpha comes in.

Our vast catalogue contains professionally produced cover versions and alternative recordings of many of the world's best-known songs, giving businesses and content creators another route to using recognisable music.

From timeless standards and classic hits to current chart favourites, we help clients find the right recording and the right licence for their project.

High-Quality Recordings

Professional productions created for commercial use, with quality at the heart of the catalogue.

Flexible Licensing

Tell us where, how and for how long you want to use a recording — we'll help identify the right licence for your project.

Master Rights Made Simple

Quadalpha controls the master rights in its recordings, providing a direct route to licensing rather than the original artist's master.

Expert, Human Support

No need to become a music-rights expert — tell us what you're making and our team will explain the options in plain language.

Pricing

Affordable, Transparent Licensing

Licensing a cover version, instrumental or karaoke recording from Quadalpha is typically far more affordable than licensing an original artist's master recording, without compromising on quality.

Broadcast Licence
All media. In perpetuity. Among the most affordable in the industry.
