ABOUT Y ROYALTIES

Y Royalties was established in 2023 by Colin Young, Ben Marlow and Gary Groutage, though our journey started years earlier, growing out of the royalties division at CC Young & Co, an award-winning accountancy firm marking nearly 30 years in the music industry.
The data infrastructure we've built now sits at the heart of every service, analysing royalties at the most granular level to surface trends, anomalies and opportunities, and driving our catalogue valuations and due diligence.
