Hit songwriter and artist Julia Michaels has struck a music rights deal with Corrum Capital Management-backed Jonas Group Publishing and Jonas Catalog Holdings.
According to a press release, Michaels has sold “a vast catalog” of publishing copyrights and recordings to the Jonas Group.
Established in 2020, Nashville-headquartered Jonas Group Publishing is a division of Jonas Group Entertainment, founded by the Jonas Brothers’ father, Kevin Jonas Sr., in 2005.
Led by President Leslie T. DiPiero, JGP is also home to songwriters including Terri Jo Box, Justin Ebach, Franklin Jonas, David Kalmusky, Bailee Madison, and Amy Stroup.
The acquired portfolio includes Michaels’ 4x Platinum, Grammy-nominated smash If The World Was Ending, which she wrote and recorded with JP Saxe.
The collection also features global hits such as the 3x Platinum Lose You To Love Me (recorded by Selena Gomez), the Gold-certified Circles Around This Town (recorded by Maren Morris) and Pretty Please (recorded by Dua Lipa).
Other “standouts” according to Jonas Group, are the Platinum-certified Heaven, written and recorded for the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack, and the Gold-certified I Miss You with Clean Bandit.
The catalog also includes recordings by Lady Gaga, Shawn Mendes, Maroon 5, Diplo, Britney Spears, Nick Jonas, Noah Kahan, Justin Bieber, Jason Derulo, Keith Urban and Kelsea Ballerini.
“Julia Michaels is a known master of songwriting and is revered across multiple genres of music,” said JGP President Leslie T. DiPiero.
