Anka Group is three independent companies built around the same idea, artists keep their work. Anka Entertainment is the music label developing a small roster. Anka Music Group ships releases and runs label services. AnTools makes free browser-based SaaS file tools. Different teams, different problems, the same stance, built for the people making the thing, not for the people charting it.
AE is the music label. A small, curated roster, slow A&R, and releases built for catalog longevity rather than algorithm spikes. The work is artist development end-to-end, finding the sound, shaping the rollout, making the next record happen, and being patient when patience is the right call. AE keeps the roster small on purpose so each release gets real attention.
Anka Music Group (AMG) delivers your music to every store that matters and runs the label services layer around it, splits, sync, marketing, the boring royalty math. On Pro+ there's no per-stream cut and no take rate, AMG earns margin on the annual subscription instead. Lower tiers use a profit-share so anyone can start. It's not a label. Masters, publishing, your name, all yours. What AMG owns is the plumbing: the dashboard, the payout lanes, the support inbox that actually replies.
AnTools is a SaaS platform at antoolsapp.com offering free file utilities for the boring jobs, compress, convert, resize, merge, trim. Image, PDF, video, audio, all in the browser. The stuff you used to download a shady desktop app for, except it doesn't watermark your files, doesn't make you sign up, and deletes everything after 24 hours. It's not trying to be Adobe. It just handles the small file jobs you didn't want to think about.
None of the three companies take a permanent ownership stake in artist work. AE develops careers without grabbing masters in perpetuity. Anka Music Group (AMG) holds non-exclusive distribution rights only while you're active. AT doesn't own the files you process inside it. The default is you own what you make; we only own the plumbing around it.
You can use one without the others. Signing with AE doesn't push you to Anka Music Group (AMG). Distributing with AMG doesn't oblige you to beta-test AT. No internal referral fees, no cross-product bonuses, the only thing that moves between companies is your name, and only if you ask.
Email any one of the three and a human at that company answers, not a shared support pool wearing different hats. Each company stays small on purpose. Combined, we still fit in one room.
Anka Group isn't the final destination.
Every future company sits under the same roof.
The model we follow looks closer to a holding company than a traditional music outfit. Each unit has its own team, its own identity, its own market, but still sits inside one ecosystem where the parts can lean on each other when it makes sense, and stand alone when it doesn't.
This isn't diversification for diversification's sake. New companies only appear when there's a real problem we think we can answer well, not because a pitch deck needs another logo. The default answer to "should we start something new?" is no.
When a new company does appear, music, technology, creative, something we haven't built, it joins under Anka Group. The stance stays the same: independent teams, serious work, built to last. Not optimized for exit.
AE develops the roster. Anka Music Group (AMG) handles the catalog. AnTools handles the file work. The right one is usually the obvious one, and if it isn't, email hello@ankamusicgroup.com. Same inbox either way.
