Rapper and music producer T-Pain, often revered for shaping the auto tune era first, has just recently sold off his publishing catalog and some select masters to HarbourView Equity Partners.
Speaking to Variety in an exclusive interview, T-Pain claimed that doing so would allow him to preserve the legacy of his music. The rappa-turnt-sanga said that it represents “years of hardwork, creativity and unforgettable moments” and that he has no plans of stopping anytime soon.
The company entrusted with taking care of the catalog also boasts a stellar client line up, including names like Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie, Wiz Khalifa, Jeremih, Nelly and more. CEO Sherrese Clarke commented on how T-Pain’s legacy has “left an indelible mark on modern music” and that the goal is to “amplify his incredible legacy even further.”
“I’m excited for this next chapter and to partner with HarbourView Equity as they help preserve the legacy of my music,” said T-Pain. “This catalog represents years of hard work, creativity, and unforgettable moments, and I’m grateful to see it continue to reach new heights. I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.”
“We are excited to welcome T-Pain, a true trailblazer in the music industry, to the HarbourView family” said HarbourView Founder and CEO Sherrese Clarke. “His visionary artistry and innovative spirit have left an indelible mark on modern music, and we can’t wait to collaborate and amplify his incredible legacy even further.”
The mega deal was facilitated by Fox Rothschild on HarbourView’s legal team, while T-Pain found representation in Joey Halbardier.
