Questions these episodes answer
Why did Marzio F Schena start A-Note Music?
He saw music royalties yielding about 10% annually while the investment fund he worked for targeted only 2%, and he wanted to create a liquid market for these cash-flowing music assets.
What was A-Note Music's first catalog and how did it perform?
The first catalog was Irma Records, an Italian record label and publisher, listed for 12 years at 200,000 euros with a 5% return, and the auction closed within one month.
How does A-Note Music handle regulation and investor money?
The company worked with regulators early, implemented KYC and AML, and uses a regulated third party called Mango Bay to handle money, so A-Note does not touch investor funds.
How big does Marzio F Schena think the music royalty market is?
He estimates global music royalty payments at about 40 billion dollars a year, and a multiple of 25 values the industry at around one trillion dollars.
