Empowering Music Entrepreneurs: Circuit Capital's Mission to Invest in Music Assets and Cultural Intellectual Property
Circuit Capital, a new platform launched by The Circuit Group, aims to acquire and expand music assets and cultural intellectual property. Backed by Create Music Group, Circuit Capital has access to over $500 million to support its mission of investing in catalogs, record labels, publishers, and other music-related ventures to create long-term sustainable value. The fund will also provide capital for upcoming projects by artists managed by The Circuit Group, offering resources for artists to invest in their music and careers.
The Circuit Group, formed in October 2023, is a collective of management companies Ayita and Seven20, representing artists like Fisher, Chris Lake, deadmau5, Cloonee, Aluna, Ninajirachi, and more. The company's goal is to acquire 50% ownership in artists' IP portfolios, collaborate with them to create opportunities across various sectors, and provide traditional artist management services. The team expanded in the summer of 2024 with seven new hires to further support their mission.
Circuit Capital aims to foster a community environment and serve as a hub for artists, entrepreneurs, and rights-holders, working alongside experienced professionals deeply rooted in the electronic music industry. The co-founder of The Circuit Group, Harvey Tadman, emphasizes the importance of putting culture at the forefront of their endeavors, ensuring that artists have partners who understand their world and share their values. The partnership with Create Music Group further solidifies their commitment to supporting artists and building enduring value in the music industry.
Create Music Group recently acquired the deadmau5 catalog and mau5trap label, showcasing their dedication to investing in music catalogs and businesses with long-term potential. The collaboration with The Circuit Group aligns with Create Music Group's mission to provide technology, infrastructure, and capital support for artists and entrepreneurs, empowering them to create lasting, global businesses. Together, they aim to combine resources, expertise, and vision to support music entrepreneurs in building successful ventures in the industry.
