The acquisition underscores Tuned Global’s commitment to shaping the future of the music industry by empowering clients with innovative technology and unmatched execution, while continuing to support existing Figaro.ai customers.
Wednesday, 8 October, 2025 — Tuned Global, the leading music and media technology platform, has today announced the acquisition of Figaro.ai (by FeedForward), a London-based audio-AI company known for making music catalogues smarter and more discoverable.
The acquisition advances Tuned Global’s strategy to be the cloud platform that clients build on to innovate. By bringing Figaro.ai into its partner-friendly platform, Tuned Global is enhancing its platform with AI innovation to deliver practical outcomes for customers: faster innovation, greater engagement and measurable business impact.
“With Figaro.ai, Tuned Global cements its position as the most comprehensive music platform, where innovation across AI, fraud detection, rights management, search and recommendations can be built,” said Tuned Global CEO Con Raso.
This move is about using technology to improve client outcomes and deliver value for the wider industry. It follows Tuned Global’s earlier acquisition of Pacemaker, known for pioneering AI-powered mixing technology, and reflects a clear strategy: acquiring companies whose innovation and IP help clients and the industry build the future of music technology and streaming. Integrating Figaro.ai strengthens Tuned Global’s ability to power premium, highly relevant music experiences at scale.
Tuned Global remains an open ecosystem, with Figaro.ai integrated as another component in a broader platform. It will operate as an integrated but distinct component within Tuned Global’s broader platform, complementing existing partners and expanding client options.
Current Figaro.ai clients will continue to be supported, backed by Tuned Global’s global reach, infrastructure and long-term commitment.
The Figaro.ai team, including founders Lydia Gregory and Kevin Webster, will be integrated within Tuned Global, ensuring continuity for existing customers and adding deep AI expertise to accelerate the company’s roadmap.
Tuned Global CEO Con Raso said he was thrilled to welcome the deeply skilled Figaro.ai team into the fold.
“At Tuned Global, we see ourselves as the hub where innovation in music technology takes shape. We are building the largest open ecosystem of AI music intelligence, giving our clients maximum choice and real impact for the music industry,” he said. “With Figaro.ai joining the platform, we’re not only expanding that ecosystem with cutting-edge technology but also welcoming a highly skilled team whose expertise strengthens our ability to deliver music experiences that are powerful, flexible and future-ready.”
Figaro.ai CEO and Co-founder Lydia Gregory said she was excited to join Tuned Global and amplify the impact of her company’s objectives.
“Figaro.ai has always been about combining deep technical expertise with a passion for music discovery. I’m incredibly proud of the team that built this technology, and I’m thrilled that they are joining me as part of Tuned Global,” she said. “Being integrated into a platform of this scale means we can continue our mission with greater reach and impact, while ensuring continuity for the clients who already rely on us. Together, we’re ready to help the industry deliver music experiences that are more relevant, premium, and engaging than ever before.”
