Inside the Playbook: Dan Gonzalez on Why Music Catalogs Are the Hottest Investment

Music catalogs have become one of the hottest asset classes in the world.

In this clip of The Manager’s Playbook, Dan Gonzalez and I unpack how catalogs are valued, why multiples matter, and what makes music such an attractive investment for hedge funds and capital allocators. From liquidity to long-term earnings, we explore why music is considered an uncorrelated asset, and what that means for artists.

We also discuss the importance of owning masters, how business managers guide artists through catalog deals, and the growing role of family offices in managing wealth.

Whether you’re an artist, manager, or investor, this conversation offers a clear look into the financial engine powering today’s music industry.

A conversation like this doesn't come cheap.
