Ithaca Holdings Acquires Atlas Music Publishing
• Ithaca Holdings, a media holding company led by SB Projects founder Scooter Braun, has acquired Richard Stumpf‘s Atlas Music Publishing, the home to songs by Ed Sheeran, Drake, Nicki Minaj, John Legend and Van Halen, among others. This acquisition expands Ithaca’s publishing platform by partnering with some of the most talented executives and creatives in the space.
Braun (left), whose clients include Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Zac Brown Band, Dan + Shay and Tori Kelly, commented, “Richard has built an incredible publishing business with Atlas and we are excited to bring him and his team into the family. By working with Richard and his team, we will have a direct line to some of the most creative writers making the publishing process more streamlined and personal.”
Stumpf (right) noted, “I’ve admired the work that Scooter has done over the years and his commitment for doing right by talent. He has the pulse of the music industry like no other. It was clear to me that beyond the business, Scooter was someone who genuinely wants to be part of the greater good. We look forward to many successful years together with Scooter, Allison Kaye and the rest of the SB team.” Atlas will continue to do business out of their established New York, Los Angeles and Nashville offices.
