Jonas Group Publishing and Jonas Catalog Holdings I, LLC, have acquired a vast catalog of copyrights and recordings from hit songwriter and recording artist Julia Michaels. She has earned widespread recognition for her multi-genre appeal and finely tuned perspective on love, loss and the broad spectrum of the human experience.
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 include 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. “Julia along with her manager, Beka Tishchker and their amazing team have a choice on who they trust to represent her works. We here at Jonas Group Publishing are truly honored that they have chosen us. Listening to her catalog of songs makes us feel like kids in a candy store!”
“Music is all about passion, and I’m so happy this music lives with Leslie, Kevin and their passionate team that values songwriters and creators,” Michaels said. “I look forward to working with them and growing the reach of these songs.”
“My family and I have been big fans of Julia Michaels for years,” shared JGE Founder and Chairman Kevin Jonas Sr. “Her music has been a part of our journey, and we’ve been fortunate enough to experience the magic of her songs firsthand. We’re excited to work with her and her team to continue sharing these incredible songs with the world and to build on the success they’ve already seen.
“This catalog is truly special for Jonas Catalog Holdings and Jonas Group Publishing. It’s not just about the hits she’s created; it’s about the heart and soul in each track. We could not have acquired this catalog without the support and expertise of our financial partner, Corrum Capital Management, who we thank and look forward to many more acquisitions together. We must also thank our trusted partners, Access Media Advisory and Teresa Miles Walsh, as well as Moghan Music for providing valuable assistance throughout the purchase of the catalog.”
