Curios Adds Over 10,000 Creators by Completing Its Acquisition of Rocki

Curios has finalized its acquisition of Rocki, a music streaming platform with a large community of independent artists. The deal strengthens Curios' position in digital content ownership, distribution, and monetization.

Rocki, founded by Bjorn Niclas, brings solid technical infrastructure and a deep pool of musicians and creators to Curios. In completing the acquisition, Curios expanded its creator base by more than 10,000 individuals, enriching its ecosystem and giving fans a more diverse range of content to explore.

Curios offers creators tools to own and monetize their work and engage directly with their fans. The ecosystem includes Curios Studio and the Creator Marketplace, plus a mobile app for iOS and Android in development with plans to launch later in 2024. Curios plans to offer the same or similar functionality that existed on Rocki.com, plus additional functionality unique to Curios.
