Cinq Music Group

Cinq Music Group is a technology driven, music distribution, record label, and rights management company. Cinq Music earned dozens of RIAA Gold & Platinum certifications, and received a nomination as Billboard Latin Urban Label of the Year. Cinq Music was started as a digital music distribution company in 2012 by Barry Daffurn. Cinq Music Group now provides rights management, content creation and label services for recording artists. Janet Jackson released her "Made For Now" music video in collaboration with Cinq in August 2018, the collaboration with Daddy Yankee, returned Jackson to the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart for the first time since 2015, and her 20th number one on the Dance Club Songs chart.

Focusing on independent and untapped talent, Percy Miller (aka Master P) became president of Urban Music Development at Cinq in 2017. Cinq received first round venture capital funding in 2015.

In September 2020, Cinq acquired the record label Beluga Heights Records, the home to Jason Derulo.
