Music always comes with a sense of joy, whether its a favourite song on your playlist or a earworm melody that you can’t get out of your dead. But have you ever considered how music could be a bankable asset? That is exactly specialized advisory firm J Consult is tapping into as it explores the fascinating intersection between art and finance, to transform the way we value creativity.
To understand how a song becomes an asset, we can explore the career of Jonny Chiappetta, Washington-based music business expert who combines high-level A&R experience creative intuition and political savvy to establish himself as a powerhouse who moves hundreds of millions of dollars in music assets every year.
Through J Consult, Jonny has bridged the gap between the emotional world of the artist and the analytical world of the institutional investor. Rooted in expert knowledge, transparency and data-driven approach, when Jonny speaks about the value of a song, the industry listens because he has the technology to back up his claims.
Recognising the information gap where artists didn't know what their life's work was worth and investors hesitated due to the unpredictability of the charts, Jonny’s proprietary technologies acted as a solid bridge analysing raw royalty data and turning it into a clear forecast.
This tech allows J Consult to predict performance with startling accuracy over the next five to ten years. With J Consult’s tools, music IP becomes "investable" in the same way that traditional real estate is by channelling years of streaming data into predictable long-term returns.
One of the biggest advantages of exploring music as an asset is that unlike traditional financial options like tech stocks or crypto, music consumption remains consistent in the earnings curve – that is audiences will still be listening to music no matter how chaotic the world or the economy gets.
As a stable, cash-flow-positive asset that yields steady returns, music is the perfect alternative asset because it remains unaffected by stock market volatility or geopolitical events.
Operating on a global scale, J Consult functions as a full-service advisory firm specializing in everything from catalog valuation to acquisition strategy, ensuring that both the artist and the buyer are getting a fair deal.
The strength of the firm is further bolstered by the involvement of Chris Burke and Will Cardno, two publishing experts behind EDM Publishing, a leading independent publisher in the UK.
Led by their market intelligence and deep roots in the publishing world, the firm stays ahead of market trends, tapping into the best opportunities for everyone involved.
With combined expertise, high-tech forecasting and in-depth market analysis, underpinned by a sense of transparency J Consult has transformed the music business into a sophisticated financial market.
Whether making sure an artist is able to transform their creative legacy into a secure financial future or allowing an investor to diversify their portfolio, J Consult ensures that two very different worlds can speak the same language.
In an increasingly uncertain, J Consult allows a hit song to become a remarkably safe harbor by making music catalogs a predictable, profitable, and stable investment for the future.
As the world continues to seek out assets that can withstand market storms, this amazing evolution of music from a form of entertainment into a major alternative asset class is one of the most exciting shifts in the modern economy.
