We turn chaos into opportunity
SNAFU provides growth capital to artists, labels, and distributors who are ready to take their music to the next level
Our Mission
The music industry is f**ked up. It is easier than ever to put out a song, but more difficult than ever to make a living as a creator. Snafu's technology gives artists and their representatives the resources to cut through the clutter by helping them monetise their most undervalued asset - their back catalog.
Snafu provides growth capital for artists making between $5,000 to $2m from their music streaming royalties. In addition, through our artist services team we offer support for artists at each stage of their career from growth strategies, advanced analytics, and playlist pitching for emerging artists; to hands-on creative support and managed global marketing rollouts for superstars.

MC Laranjinha

Snafu brought me to Sweden to collaborate with producers for a more global sound. The tracks we created opened doors beyond Brazil — and I'm just getting started.
Kanishk Seth

Joining Snafu's songwriting camp in Sweden gave me the international network I needed. I now have incredible global collaborators and new music ready to reach a wider audience.

"It's been a fantastic experience, with hands-on support making a real difference from the very beginning. SNAFU's innovative approach and financial backing have given us confidence to take bold steps forward. We're excited for what's ahead and couldn't ask for a better partner to kick off this next chapter. A huge thanks to the entire SNAFU team!"
Killa
Hip-Hop, Zambia
"My experience with Snafu has been very helpful. Where financing is concerned, getting an advance from Snafu has proven more efficient than waiting for my monthly payments and in terms of collaborations, my A&R has been great. I don't think I'd connect with some of the people I've worked with had it not been for Snafu. I'd recommend it to other artists 100%!"
Dylan John Sparkes
Instrumental, UK
"The advance gave me the chance to focus on creating new music. I've also seen a huge uplift in streams on YouTube music since signing – 1M plays/month which has been my biggest month yet – thanks to the marketing suggestions & budget assigned to me. I've also had great results with Snafu as my new music distributor, including my first Apple Music editorial placements!"
Jneiro Jarel
Hip-Hop, USA
"We've worked with many companies over the past two decades and SNAFU's approach to artist support, whether it be through funding, social media marketing, education, or just general ways to encourage authentic creativity and organic fan engagement, is second to none. We would highly recommend Snafu to any artist or independent label!"
