Deezer Music Streaming

Deezer is a global music streaming service that allows users to listen to music content from record labels, as well as podcasts on various devices online or offline. Originally launched in Paris, France, it blossomed into one of the earliest competitors in the digital music industry, establishing a footprint that spans over 180 countries.

The brand's journey began after the closure of a previous site called Blogmusik, leading to the official foundation of Deezer by Daniel Marhely and Jonathan Benassaya. Ownership has evolved significantly over the years, with major investments from Access Industries, which became its controlling shareholder. Today, Deezer is a publicly traded company on the Euronext Paris exchange, though it remains under the strategic umbrella of its majority owners, continuing its legacy as a major European alternative to global streaming giants like Spotify.
