Superfan platforms Mellomanic (formerly We Are Giant) and Stationhead have officially merged, adopted the latter’s name, and scored investments from Universal Music Group (UMG) as well as Sterling Partners. Both companies just recently confirmed the merger in a formal release, but according to multiple LinkedIn posts, the deal technically wrapped well before 2025’s conclusion.
The transaction reflects continued investor interest in music IP as a stable asset class. Catalog valuations have remained resilient despite broader market volatility, with streaming-era multiples still commanding premium pricing.
The music business continues to navigate rapid technological and structural change. Understanding these shifts is essential for stakeholders making strategic decisions about partnerships, investments, and product development.
