Investment firm HarbourView Equity Partners has announced a strategic partnership with Wolf Cousins, the songwriting collective founded by Shellback and Max Martin, two of the most successful songwriter-producers of the last 30 years.

As part of the transaction, HarbourView has acquired the publisher’s share of select compositions written by the Wolf Cousins collective.

The partnership includes select compositions performed by artists such as Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, Imagine Dragons, Ellie Goulding, Tove Lo, DNCE and Demi Lovato. Featured titles include chart-topping songs such as Taylor Swift’s “Style” and “…Ready For It?,” Ariana Grande’s “Problem,” “Into You,” and “No Tears Left To Cry,” The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face,” Imagine Dragons’ “Believer,” Ellie Goulding’s “Love Me Like You Do,” Tove Lo’s “Habits (Stay High)” and DNCE’s “Cake By The Ocean.” Several compositions included in the partnership are also featured in & Juliet, the hit Broadway and West End musical built around the music of Max Martin.

low NINE figures is crazy for a multi award winning songwriter and producer like Max Martin when he's been a hitmaker since the 90s. He should be getting MILLIONS for it.

his share as a co-producer, vocal producer and songwriter will be owned by them so they will get his cut instead.

he didn't sell his entire catalog, "HarbourView has acquired the publisher’s share of select compositions written by the Wolf Cousins collective" -  The Wolf Cousins collective includes such songwriters and producers as Ilya Salmanzadeh, Oscar Holter, Tove Lo, Ludvig Söderberg, Jakob Jerlström, Oscar Görres, Ali Payami, Robin Fredriksson and Mattias Larsson. 

It may also mean that Max Martin and Shellback didn’t sell their catalogs at all, and that the deal only involves publishing shares from other Wolf Cousins members.
