Hipgnosis Songs Fund: SONG

Hipgnosis buys catalogue from Ari Levine – Hipgnosis Songs Fund Limited has acquired a music catalogue from Ari Levine, a multi-Grammy nominated songwriter and producer, best known for his work as a member of the three-piece writing and producing group The Smeezingtons (whose members also include Bruno Mars and Philip Lawrence).

Ari Levine has achieved 99 Number 1, 256 Top 5 and 361 Top 10 Chart positions globally with numerous artists including Bruno Mars, Ce Lo Green, Diplo and Mark Ronson.

Ari has written multiple Top 10 hits, including ‘F**k You‘ by Cee Lo Green, ‘Just The Way You Are‘, ‘Grenade‘, ‘When I Was Your Man‘ and ‘Locked Out of Heaven‘ by Bruno Mars, ‘Billionaire‘ by Travie McCoy, ‘Nothin’ On You‘ by B.o.B. and ‘One Day‘ by Matisyahu.

For Ari and The Smeezingtons, critical acclaim has come hand-in-hand with commercial success.  Whilst Ari has won numerous ASCAP Awards, The Smeezingtons have also been nominated twice for the ‘Producer of the Year’ Grammy Award, and ‘Locked Out Of Heaven’, by Bruno Mars, was nominated for both ‘Record of the Year’ and ‘Song of the Year’ at the 2014 Grammy Awards.

The fund has acquired 100% of Ari Levine’s copyright ownership in his catalogue, which comprises 76 songs in total, including 100% of his writer share of performance income collected and distributed by the Performance Rights Organization GMR (Global Music Rights).

[As usual, there is no information to disclose about what Hipgnosis paid for the song rights or what it hopes to earn from them. We expect to see results from Hipgnosis soon, which should help lift the veil a little.]
