Summary

  • The Weeknd is looking to raise $1 billion USD using his music catalog as collateral
  • This allows him to access capital without selling his music rights
  • The deal, led by Lyric Capital Group, would be one of the largest of its kind

In a landmark move that could redefine the value of a music catalog, superstar The Weeknd is reportedly in talks to raise $1 billion USD in financing, using his music rights as collateral. The news, first reported by Bloomberg, has sent shockwaves through the industry and would be one of the largest deals of its kind for an individual artist.

The deal, which is still in the early stages, would see The Weeknd use his stake in his music publishing rights and his share of the master recordings as collateral. This move is a departure from a traditional catalog sale, as it would allow the artist to access significant capital without completely giving up ownership of his music. This type of structured financing is becoming increasingly common in the music industry as artists seek liquidity for new business ventures.

According to the report, a New York-based private equity firm, Lyric Capital Group, is leading the discussions and is working to assemble a full financing package. The news also comes as The Weeknd has stated his plans to retire his stage name, a bold move that is seen as an opportunity to pivot into new creative endeavors. This potential billion-dollar deal is a testament to the artist’s global appeal and the immense value of his music, which has garnered more than 110 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone.
