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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
