Independent music catalogue valuation
The music valuation tool for your life's work.
At every stage of a career - not just the moment it comes up for sale.
Your catalogue is a financial asset. Like any asset, it has a value that changes over time - with every new placement, every streaming milestone, every shift in the market. Most artists only find out what theirs is worth when someone else decides to make an offer. Blash is built so that moment never catches you unprepared.
Upload your royalty statements and get an independent music valuation of your publishing and recording rights — benchmarked against reported catalog transactions and grounded in sourced market data. It is an indicative estimate for your own information, not a formal or professional valuation.
Powered by our proprietary framework - built from years inside music rights and investment.

How value is built
Every institutional buyer in this market has had sophisticated valuation capability for years. Until now, the artist never did.
Unconflicted. Always.
We have no stake in your catalog, your deal, or your decision. Default assumptions sit at fair market value - never inflated to win your business, never adjusted to flatter a number. The run-rate is shown separately from the upside, and every input is sourced, so nothing can hide where value really comes from.
You shouldn't need to sell your catalog to find out what it's worth. Blash Music gives you that number - whether you're negotiating a deal, planning an estate, reviewing a contract, or simply understanding the asset you've spent a career building.
Independent
No stake in the outcome. Our only job is an accurate, sourced estimate - one you can trust precisely because we don’t benefit from which way it leans.
Comprehensive
Publishing and recording rights, valued separately and combined. Built for artists, songwriters, producers, estates, and the professionals who represent them.
Fast & rigorous
Rigorous, sourced analysis in a fraction of the time and cost - grounded in sourced market data, and ready whenever you need it.
Mission
Understanding your catalog is a skill. We help you build it.
The music industry is extraordinarily good at developing creative talent. It has never been good at developing financial literacy in the people who create the value.
Most artists sign their first publishing deal without knowing what a net publisher's share is. Most don't know what multiple their income could command, or how streaming growth affects the DCF model a buyer will run on their work, or why a catalog valued at one number today might be worth thirty percent more - or less - in two years. This is not because artists aren't intelligent. It is because no one has ever systematically taught them, and the infrastructure to learn has never existed on their side of the table.
Blash Music is built to change that. The valuation is the starting point, not the destination. Every report is designed to be understood, not just filed - with the assumptions shown, the inputs sourced, and the reasoning legible to anyone willing to engage with it. Over time, that transparency compounds. An artist who understands their first valuation is better placed to understand their second, and better placed still to understand the contract, the offer, or the deal that follows.
Financial literacy is not a luxury for artists who have already made it. It is the foundation on which every good decision in this industry is built - and it should be available from the very beginning of a career, not discovered, with regret, near its end.

FAQ
Music valuation, answered.
What is a music catalogue valuation?
A music catalogue valuation (also called a music catalog valuation) is an independent estimate of what publishing and recording rights are worth today, built from royalty statements, market comparables and forward-looking assumptions — not a guess, and not a buyer's opening offer.
What is a music valuation tool?
A music valuation tool turns royalty statements into an estimate of catalogue value. Blash reads publishing and recording income, applies sourced market assumptions and comparables, and returns a range in minutes — not a six-to-twelve-week advisory process.
How much does a music valuation cost?
Blash is a one-off, self-serve music valuation tool starting from £299 for artists and songwriters, with professional-track pricing for managers, agencies and funds who need client-ready or fund-reporting output. See Pricing for the full breakdown.
How do I value a music catalogue?
To value a music catalogue you need the rights type, historical royalty income, and a market-grounded method — typically a discounted cash flow cross-checked against comparable catalogue transactions. Blash does that from the statements you upload, for publishing, recording, or both.
Is Blash an independent music valuation platform?
Yes. Blash Music has no stake in your catalogue, your deal, or your decision — default assumptions sit at fair market value, every input is sourced, and the model is the same whether you're buying, selling, or simply want to know what it's worth.
Who uses Blash's music valuation tool?
Artists, songwriters, producers and estates use the Artist track. Managers, agencies, lawyers and funds use the Professional track for client-ready reports, catalogue rating and negotiation-ready analysis.
