Sentric Music

Sentric Music is a British independent music publisher created by emerging songwriters and artists.

In February 2022, Sentric was acquired by the Swiss fin tech company Utopia Music. In March 2023, Utopia Music sold Sentric to the French record company Believe Music for €47 million (US$51 million).

Founded in 2006, Sentric has its headquarters in Liverpool, England and staff across Europe. The company administers the works of over 100,000 artists and writers, covering more than 1 million songs globally.

Sentric publishes their writers' work in the UK via PRS for Music and the MCPS collection societies.

In May 2012, the North West Fund for Digital & Creative, managed by AXM Venture Capital Limited, made an equity investment into Sentric Music.

As well as collecting royalties for their writers, Sentric seeks synchronisation opportunities for its writers, having previously placed music in advertisements for companies such as Lexus, O2 Germany, and De Montfort University. In February 2013, Sentric was nominated at the Music+Sound Awards in the Best Sync: Trailers and Promos category for the use of Kankouran's song "Rivers" in the trailer for Series 6 of Skins.

In June 2012, Sentric Music entered into a co-publishing agreement with Brussels-based Strictly Confidential, the publishing arm of PIAS. The first two artists signed under the co-publishing agreement were Tall Ships and Cattle & Cane.

In February 2013, Sentric Music's CEO, Chris Meehan, was included in the Music Week "30 Under Thirty" list, recognising notable young professionals in the UK music industry.
