Believe

Expanding Our Leadership Footprint in Turkey 🗓️🇹🇷 On this day two years ago, Believe completed the full acquisition of Doğan Music Company (DMC), Turkey’s leading independent label. Following our initial 60% majority investment in 2020, exercising full ownership reinforced Believe’s long-term strategy: to invest in thriving local music markets and provide independent creators with world-class digital expertise, technology, and global scale. Today, DMC represents an exceptional roster of top Turkish pop, rock, and regional talent, including rising superstars like Besti alongside established powerhouses Tarkan, Mustafa Sandal, Simge, Edis, and Aleyna Tilki. By combining DMC’s heritage with Believe’s global infrastructure, we continue to supercharge the digital transformation of the Turkish music industry and export local talent to international audiences. #MusicIndustry #ArtistDevelopment #TurkishMusic #GlobalMusic

Thank you again to Billboard France for this honor, to Youssoupha for the inspiring words, and to all the artists, labels, and teams who make this journey possible every day! #BelieveMusic #BillboardPowerPlayers #Leadership #MusicIndustry #ArtistDevelopment #IndependentMusic

Believe Founder and CEO Denis Ladegaillerie spoke with Music Business Worldwide (MBW) on Believe and TuneCore's new deal with Suno and our commitment to artist consent. In April 2026, we announced that we would not distribute tracks generated by models trained on unlicensed content, including Suno’s then-current models. Our position did not change; Suno and its model did. "Our standard is straightforward: protected material used to train the new model must be licensed or otherwise expressly authorized. That is the standard we have applied consistently, and Suno's new model meets it." says Founder and CEO Denis Ladegaillerie. Read the full interview on Music Business Worldwide

When the digital transition disrupted music, the playbook was rewritten. We are now standing at the exact same inflection point with Artificial Intelligence. In a feature with La Tribune on September 6, our Founder & CEO Denis Ladegaillerie framed the reality of where our industry is heading. Scale without vision is just noise. Lowering the barrier to content creation doesn't make breakthrough success easier, it elevates the value of taste, strategy, and human connection. True industry disruption requires two elements: radical technological adoption and unwavering investment in human capability. Pure automation scales volume. Intentional human strategy scales impact. That balance is how market leaders stay ahead. How is your sector leveraging AI as a force multiplier without losing core human direction? #AIInMusic #FutureOfMusic #DigitalTransformation #TechInnovation #MusicIndustry
