A Division of Sony Corp. of America

Gracenote is a wholly owned, independent subsidiary of the Sony Corporation of America (SCA). In “non-legal” speak this means we are owned by Sony, but operate as an independent company.

We work closely with other Sony companies, including Sony Electronics, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sony Entertainment Network. We are featured in millions of Sony products. However, we also have the flexibility to work other entertainment leaders, including Apple, Google, Amazon and Ford.
