The latest musician to sell off his catalogue, superstar country artist Blake Shelton has sold the rights to his master recordings.
On Tuesday (10.04,) spokespersons for Influence Media Partners, the purchasing music and entertainment company confirmed that they had acquired the Ol’ Red singer’s catalogue of master recordings, which includes all of his commercial releases between 2001 to 2019.
In a statement about the deal, Influence Media officials called the venture a “groundbreaking deal” made “to amplify his works and entitling Blake to participate in a share of the profit generated”.
While Influence Media Partners now has the rights to monetize Shelton’s masters, Warner Music Group will continue to oversee the distribution of his songs.
Referencing Influence Media founder Lylette Pizarro and founding advisor Rene McLean, Blake issued the following statement:
“I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since my first album and single. Sometimes I still feel like the kid from Oklahoma I was back then.” “While a lot has changed during that time, my passion for music hasn’t. I’m excited to be working with Lylette, Rene and the team at Influence Media on so much of my catalogue and to introduce my songs to the next generation of country fans.”
