Deezer is first of all the story of a website that "reinvents" music, behind which are two young founders Daniel Marhely and Jonathan Benassaya.

After launching the first website for listening to music under the name of Blogmusik, voluntarily closed at the height of problems with the music market, they decided to set up their business model by negotiating with the main rightful owners.For the first time and totally logically, they first of all signed an agreement with copyright companies SACEM and SESAM the 22nd August 2007. It was on this date that the first unlimited, free and legal website for listening to music was launched.

Deezer.com was born. The concept is simple : offering for free and legally the opportunity to listen to all kinds of music, from rock to hip hop via jazz, electro or music of the world…At the same time it involves paying artists and all the rightful owners by sharing advertising revenue. Thanks to its innovative offer and philosophy, Deezer has been a huge success, the press widely hailing the event. Less than two months after its launch, Deezer announced the acquisition of the catalogues of the main major or independent record labels : Sony BMG, Because Music, Believe... The 14th May 2008 the website announced the signing of an International agreement based on 35 countries with the giant Universal Music. The 10th September 2008 Deezer and Warner Music International announced a worldwide agreement. The 2nd April Deezer finally had the catalogues of the 4 Smajors by signing with Emi. Deezer also has agreements with more than 1000 independent labels.
