Seasons Music Group Catalog Deal Advisory

Seasons Music Group lends its expertise to the monetization of entertainment copyright, royalty streams, and companies. Over the years, Seasons Music's catalog devision, led by Matt Herzfeld, has developed lasting relationships and closed numerous deals with over 150 companies and individuals engaged in music acquisition, securitization, advances, loans, and traditional publishing and recording deals. 

Seasons Music has closed deals both large and small, and is happy to guide you from prep to sale as you or your client consider a host of financial opportunities. Seasons Music offers comprehensive valuation alignment and connects clients with experienced legal and financial experts to ensure the best possible deal for every situation. We help assemble professional pitch-decks and comprehensive data rooms to promote efficient and timely sales.

Of the over $200 million in transactions Matt has helped facilitate, notable catalogs include Bing Crosby, Dan Wilson (“Closing Time” by Semisonic and “Someone Like You” by Adele), Tom Whitlock (“Danger Zone” aka Top Gun theme and “Take My Breath Away” by Berlin), Sturken and Rogers (1/5 of Rihanna’s artist royalties on first 7 albums), a $20+ million legacy publishing business with classic jazz, soul, and hiphop copyrights, hit songs written for Shawn Mendes and One Direction, and many others.
