  The global pandemic hasn’t slowed down Tencent Music Entertainment’s acquisition strategy in music. Earlier this year, the company, which is majority-owned by China’s Tencent Holdings, acquired a minority slice of Universal Music Group via a Tencent-led consortium’s $3.4bn buyout of a 10% stake in UMG. In June, Tencent Music Entertainment (TME) also acquired its own sliver of Warner Music Group, paying around $100m for a stake worth around 0.8% of WMG. (Tencent Holdings acquired a further 0.8%.) Last month, revealed that both Tencent Holdings and TME had acquired a minority stake in the fast-growing, AI-driven A&R platform Instrumental.

Wave blends broadcast technology and real-time gaming graphics to transform artists into digital avatars in a virtual world, through which they can play livestream...

We wrote about the London-based company’s tech spotting huge tracks by the likes of Lil Nas X, Tones & I and Arizona Zervas months before those artists signed major label deals that helped their careers take off. We wrote about Instrumental launching its internal label record label, Frtyfve, which enables it to invest early in emerging artists spotted by its own technology. And two years ago, we wrote about Instrumental raising $4m to fuel its “aggressive growth plan”. Now, that growth plan looks set to go supernova. We learned today (October 27) that Instrumental has sold a minority stake in its business to two parties: Tencent Holdings and Tencent Music Entertainment (in which Tencent Holdings, of course, is a majority owner). Little is known about the deal as you read this, although MBW understands that an official announcement is due in the coming days. Instrumental uses proprietary algorithmic tech (i.e. machine learning) combined with human intelligence to comb streaming serv...

  Spotify rival Gaana, which announced in August that it had surpassed 185m monthly active users, has just raised 3.75bn INR (approximately $51m) in debt to help finance its growth. The money comes from two existing Gaana investors – Tencent, and the platform’s majority-owner Times Internet – in the form of optionally converted debentures at a price of 63,761.93 INR (around $870) per share. The majority of this cash (approximately $41m) has been handed over by Tencent’s European entity, Tencent Cloud BV, with the remaining amount coming from Times Internet. According to financial filings in India, the move has seen Tencent’s ownership stake in Gaana increase to 34.44%, while diluting Times Internet’s stake to 60.18%. The third stakeholder in Gaana, ESOP Pool, owns 5.38%. Entrackr estimates that, as a result of the new debt raise, Gaana is now worth around $530m – with Times Internet’s stake worth $319m, and Tencent’s stake worth $182.5m.
