Sherrese Clarke Soares on buying music rights – and expanding Harbourview's vision

Music Business Worldwide

On the latest Music Business Worldwide Podcast, Tim Ingham, founder of MBW, is joined by the founder and CEO of Harbourview Equity Partners, Sherrese Clarke Soares (pictured).
Since being established in 2021, Harbourview has acquired premium music assets associated with stars such as Wiz Khalifa Nelly, Lady A, Florida Georgia Line and Christine McVie.
One of Harbourview's biggest deals to date was its reported $325 million purchase of Sound House Acquisitions LLC in 2022.
The company has since expanded into other entertainment verticals, investing in assets in film/TV.
Founded with backing from Apollo Global Management, Harbourview has more recently inked a deal to secure $500 million in debt from KKR via a private securitization of its catalog of music royalties.
On this podcast, Ingham asks Soares about Harbourview's ambitions to keep on buying in the music and entertainment space, streaming trends, and much more.
