Jonas Catalog Holdings 1, a new strategic outlet managed by Jonas Group Entertainment Holdings, has acquired a significant portion of pop supergroup The Jonas Brothers‘ music catalog.

“Joining forces with Jonas Group Entertainment feels like coming full circle,” share the Jonas Brothers. “We are passionate about songwriting and the creative process, and Leslie DiPiero has always been a true champion for songwriters and creators. We look forward to working with her and the team.”

The deal includes the full Happiness Begins album, which includes hits such as 5x Platinum “Sucker” and “Only Human.” Also included in the transaction is their latest project The Album, which includes smash hit “Waffle House.” Other tunes part of the acquisition include “Like It’s Christmas,” which has amassed over 600 million streams, and “Remember This,” which was used during the 2020 Olympic Games and performed live by the band during the closing ceremony.

“The foundation for every successful artist is the song, and Nick, Joe and Kevin are extraordinary songwriters,” says DiPiero, President of Jonas Group Publishing. “Their music has touched and inspired a generation of fans and fellow artists. It’s a privilege to welcome this body of work into the JGP family.”

“This catalog represents not just incredible commercial success, but cultural impact,” adds George Kreis, President of Jonas Group Entertainment. “Leslie and Kevin Jonas Sr. continue to lead with heart, vision and a deep belief in creators, and this catalog joins a dynamic roster that already includes Rhett Akins, Julia Michaels, Danger Twins/Amy Stroup, Justin Ebach, RaeLynn, David Kalmusky, Terri Jo Box and more.”

The transaction was made by Jonas Catalog Holdings 1, the investment entity founded by Kevin Jonas Sr. The entity is focused on strategic catalog acquisitions and long-term intellectual property in partnership with his Jonas Group Entertainment Holdings, which will oversee and lead the acquired assets, overseeing administration, synchronization, licensing and catalog development on behalf of Jonas Catalog Holdings 1. Recently, Jonas Group acquired Julia Michaels’ catalog, and also represent the catalogs of Rhett Akins, Danger Twins/Amy Stroup and Justin Ebach.

Corrum Capital served as the lead provider of debt financing for Jonas Catalog Holdings 1. The firm’s senior leadership team, headed by Co-Managing Partner Jonathan Mandle, played a key role in shaping the overall structure of the holding firm. Other participants in the debt syndicate include Bardin Hill, Cliffwater, and One William Street. Access Media Advisory (“AMA”), founded and led by Teresa Miles Walsh, provided strategic guidance and support to Jonas Group Holdings 1 throughout the process.
