Music Dealers LLC (www.musicdealers.com), the leading solution for connecting independent artists and music licensors into all audio/visual media, today announced that it has closed $2.18 million in Series B funding to further accelerate the Company's growth and customer success. The investment was led by a group of private investors, including participation by the Company's Series A investors. With the $2.18 million investment, Music Dealers has now raised a total of $5.25 million since its' founding in 2008.

"The closing of our Series B round is strong confirmation from both existing, and new investors that Music Dealers continues to financially validate the strategic and operational goals we set forth in 2008. Over the past three years, we have laid a solid foundation, built upon substantial revenue growth, that places us on a path to both continued expansion and profitability," said Jonathan Sheinkop, co-founder and Executive Chairman. "The proceeds from this Series B round will allow us to leverage added resources along with the knowledge we've acquired, to expand our market-share among clients- especially F500 brands. We'll continue building a dynamic catalog with the best music and respond opportunistically to strategic openings through our business development teams, accelerating our growth both domestically and internationally."
