CTM Co-Founder and CEO André de Raaff
Earlier this week, MBW revealed that BMG and investment giant KKR have jointly committed to spending over $1bn on music copyrights (for starters) via a new deal-hunting partnership.
Today, another US-based investment firm has unveiled plans to pour ten figures of fresh money into the music business, as Dallas-based Outlander Fund and Netherlands-based CTM BV announce a strategic alliance to acquire music publishing and master rights.
CTM Co-Founder and CEO André de Raaff is well known for having co-founded the successful music company Imagem, which launched in 2007 as a co-venture with Dutch pension fund APG. In June 2017, Imagem was bought by Concord Bicycle Music for circa $550 million.
