Rostrum Pacific Secures $150 Million to Accelerate Music Catalog Growth
Crayhill Capital Management has provided the financing
Full-service music company Rostrum Pacific has secured $150 million in financing from Crayhill Capital Management, a $2.9 billion asset-based investment firm.
Why it matters:
The financing partnership enables Rostrum Pacific to pursue catalog opportunities of any scale.
It can then integrate them into its robust, fully independent, and already-established ecosystem.
The deal advances Rostrum Pacific’s mission to be “the preeminent independent music company,” as per its media release.
It also expands Crayhill’s media rights investments.
Consolidation:
In 2023, Rostrum united its portfolio under the Rostrum Pacific parent banner, bringing together Rostrum Records, Fat Beats, Cantora Records, and digital distribution platform SpaceHeater.
What they said:
Scott Margolin, Chief Financial Officer, Rostrum Pacific: “Securing this funding reflects confidence in our value-creation strategy – one that leverages strategic partnerships and collaborative frameworks to drive high-value returns. With this backing, we're expanding our reach and deepening our commitment to ensure that music under our care gets heard. We're focused on catalog we can actively grow – whether it's assets we acquire or the catalog we've been building for more than 20 years.”
