Para Music Group

As the music business evolves, independent labels keep shaping the sound of cities and scenes across the country—instrument catalogs, publishing deals, licensing teams, A&R strategy, artist development and recording budgets all live under one roof at the right spot. Midtown Manhattan is one of those spots, pressed between the iconic towers of 5th Avenue and the subway splits across 59th and 57th. That’s where Para Music Group keeps its doors open at 745 5th Ave #500.

Inside the building are studios and offices where producers, writers and artists cut demos, mix masters and square away publishing splits. Sync licensing gets handled alongside label services—catalog licensing, digital distribution, mechanical licensing and label administration all move in the same workflow. Distribution isn’t an afterthought here; it’s part of their daily sequence. Mastering engineers, mix engineers and session musicians pass through the same elevators on the way in.

The building phones in and out all day; for questions on splits, catalog status or upcoming releases, call (212) 401-1938. Contracts, licensing quotes and royalty statements travel between the 500 suite and the artists’ representatives downtown. Catalog metadata, digital analytics and publisher splits move back in the opposite direction.

If that lobby-to-suite rhythm sounds useful, Para Music Group is on the 5th floor—take the elevator bank straight up from the main hall and follow the signage. Need door-to-door instructions? Here’s the map: directions.
