Symphonic has recently inked deals with 6 additional European labels and several independent artists
June 24, 2026 (Tampa, FL) – Symphonic, a leading music technology and services company for independent labels, managers, and artists, today announced the signing of independent label ROQ ‘N Rolla Music, covering both its existing catalog and all future releases. This signing marks the next chapter of Symphonic’s continued growth in Europe, after recently making several key hires on the A&R Client Development Team.
Founded in Amsterdam in 2015 by Babek Arjang Far and Tim Kimman (p.k.a. Dutch rapper Jebroer), ROQ ‘N Rolla Music is home to a robust roster of influential artists, including Jebroer, Snelle, Outsiders, Famke Louise, Hans Glock, Kalibwoy, and RBDjan. These artists represent talent across the Benelux region, U.K., Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The label is also home to sublabels BAD MANOR Records and Nouveau Riche Music.

Under the deal, Symphonic will provide the technology, infrastructure, and strategic support to maximize the value of ROQ ‘N Rolla’s catalog while accelerating growth opportunities worldwide. This includes global distribution to 200+ digital service providers, rights and royalty monetization, advanced analytics and reporting, playlist and editorial pitching, marketing support, and access to Symphonic’s full suite of artist and label services.
“I’ve known Babek for many years and have tremendous respect for his vision and the business he has built at ROQ ‘N Rolla Music,” said Sander Stijnen, Director, Business Development, EU at Symphonic. “ROQ ‘N Rolla has established itself as a highly regarded force in the independent music space through a clear commitment to artist development, quality releases, and long-term growth. This deal represents another important addition to the diverse range of labels and entrepreneurs we support at Symphonic. We look forward to working closely with Babek and his team as they continue to expand globally.”
“Over the years, I’ve learned that the best deals in music are built on trust, shared values, and a genuine understanding of what it takes to grow independent businesses,” said Arjang Far. “I admire the way Symphonic truly supports entrepreneurs and artists rather than trying to fit them into a standard mold. At ROQ ‘N Rolla, we’ve spent the last decade doing things our own way, championing artists with unique voices and building careers that stand the test of time. As we enter our next phase of international growth, we believe Symphonic is the right partner to help us scale globally while preserving the independence and culture that define who we are.”
In addition to this deal with ROQ ‘N Rolla, Symphonic has signed a growing roster of European labels in recent months, including 2-Tone Entertainment, Keep Hold S.r.l., Tripel Records, and House of Entertainment, strengthening its footprint across major creative hubs. The company is also deepening its focus on artist development at the label level, working with Engeloop Records, which represents artists Naarly and ERIICE, and Building Bridges, which represents Illie, Jinho 9, and The Gem-Z Project. These collaborations extend beyond distribution, focusing on international growth strategy, release planning, and hands-on A&R support.
On the artist side, Symphonic continues to scale its European roster, working with artists including Wande Coal, Mattafix, Tezz, Lyna Mahyem, Julio Secchin, Moncrieff, Lydmuren, OLIVIA, JMANI, and Pixie Lott.
