The Fermata is a symbol used in music to signify a sustained note...an investment of time...and a commitment to go the distance. We are an artist centered, fan driven music company that is committed to returning value to artists, and the craft of music-making. Created by people who love music, we are a lean, nimble, flexible alternative to the current record industry. We develop emerging independent talent with the aim of breaking new artists into the music industry, working closely with our artists in every phase of their development. We create and recapture value for independent artists by eliminating redundant services and costly intermediaries. We deliver greater returns by using technology and new platforms to reduce costs. We facilitate the creation and consumption of great music. Welcome to Fermata.
