About us

Not a label. Not an agency. Not a fund.
The layer above all of them.

Off the Record Partners is a global music investment and holding company. Here is who we are and why we built it this way.

Who we are

Financial and technological infrastructure for the music economy

We connect capital with the people and companies who make music — and stay out of the creative process.

  • We acquire music rights and royalty streams.
  • We invest in independent music businesses.
  • We finance artists and labels.
  • We develop entertainment IP together with production partners.
  • We provide the financial and technology layer that links capital to the global music market.

Our model does not require us to create content, and it does not put us in competition with labels or artists. We grow when the industry grows.

Positioning

What we are not — and what that makes us

Not a label

We don’t sign artists or own their careers.

Not an agency

We don’t book shows or manage talent.

Not a royalty marketplace

We don’t just trade single song shares.

Not a classic fund

We don’t pick one winner and exit.

A superstructure over all of them: one holding with a share in each.
Neutral by design

The “Switzerland” of the music business

A major label always has a conflict of interest: it backs its own artists first. We never sign artists and never release songs, so we have no roster to protect.

That is why anyone can work with us — independent labels, rival distributors, production houses in different countries, promoters and new platforms.

No competition

We provide capital and infrastructure; partners keep creative control.

No favourites

Our return comes from the whole market, so every partner’s growth matters equally.

The view from above

Everyone in music sees one slice. We are built to see the whole.

Data from every link helps us spot where the next music economy is forming before it shows up in any single chart.

Why we exist

Music economics were closed for decades

Labels, publishers and private funds owned the upside. Fans created the value but held none of it.

We are opening that structure. A portfolio across many companies and many rights lets a broader class of partners take part in the economics of the music they love — with the stability of diversification instead of a bet on a single name.

In hip-hop, owning your masters has always meant freedom. We bring that idea to the business as a whole: own the culture.

We don’t create the music. We own the ecosystem around it.
