Our Mission

Believe's mission is to develop independent artists and labels in the digital world by providing them the solutions they need to grow their audience at each stage of their career.

A unicorn company with 1 500 data driven and music experts located over 50 countries, Believe is one of the world’s leading digital music companies. Its mission is to develop independent artists and labels in the digital world.

At the core of its success is a passion for music and a deep respect for its artists and its people. With diversity built into the company’s DNA, Believe has a good ratio of gender equality: 54% of the executive committee is composed of women.

But as it keeps growing fast, it is struggling to reach this balance in the tech department. Believe is committed to addressing this gap, with a series of concrete actions to steer the company's growth in an increasingly diverse and inclusive direction.

Quote

“Diversity in all its form – gender, ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, disability, age – is a source of creativity and innovation, it enriches us all, both individually and collectively. Being surrounded with people who do not think like you, challenges you and makes you grow. This is particularly important to offer the best solutions to our artists and labels and in our fast-paced environment. Equity and inclusion are key drivers for our people’s well-being and engagement, Believe’s goal is to be both an exemplary inclusive and responsible actor in its sector and the best place to work at in the music industry.”
