We didn't build Anka from a boardroom. We built it from frustration the kind that comes from being an independent artist in a system that wasn't designed for you to win.
It started in 2019 with a band, some noise, and a lot of unanswered questions about how the music industry actually works.
The more we dug into it distribution, rights, royalties, monetization the more we realized independent artists were constantly losing out. Not because their music wasn't good enough. But because the infrastructure around them was built to serve everyone except them.
So we started building our own answers.
We spent time on YouTube, learning how the digital music ecosystem actually functions from the inside. What gets music heard. What gets it paid. What artists were giving up without even knowing it. That knowledge became the foundation of everything Anka does today.
In 2021, we launched Anka Entertainment as a label signing independent artists and handling their releases end-to-end. In 2022, we incorporated as PT Anka Sembilan Delapan, building the legal structure to do this properly and at scale.
By 2023, we'd grown beyond a label. Distribution. Publishing. Artist management. Strategy. All of it, under one roof Anka Music Group.
The idea is simple: every independent artist deserves access to the same infrastructure the major labels have. Global distribution across 150+ platforms. Real strategy behind every release. Transparent deals with no hidden fees. A team that actually gives a damn about the music.
We're based in Jakarta, but we think globally. Our artists reach listeners in 50+ countries. Because good music has no borders it just needs the right vehicle to get there.
If you're an independent artist or label looking for a partner who treats your music like it matters, you're in the right place.
Welcome to Anka.
