Founded in 1978, Shamrock began as the family office of Roy E. Disney. Since its inception, the company has grown to become one of the most active and influential buyers of music catalog investments in the industry.
The company’s most notable investment in recent years was Taylor Swift’s catalog Big Machine, which Shamrock acquired from Scooter Braun in 2020.
Similar to Metro Boomin‘s sales, Zaytoven has sold his music catalog to Ultra International Music Publishing for an undisclosed sum.
The Atlanta musician is also signed to the label, with a co-publishing deal that guarantees the producer to create new music. Zay will also increase collaborations with the company around the world in locations such as Los Angeles, ATL and London.
