Your music outlived the stage.
Let your legacy be cared for.

A discreet service helping legacy artists and their estates realise the value of their catalogues, while protecting the name and story behind them.

I.

For artists & estates

A catalogue is a life’s work. We help artists, bands and estates take considered decisions about it, at their own pace and in confidence.

A fair valuation

An independent, properly documented view of what the catalogue is worth, prepared with specialists before any conversation with a buyer.

Legacy & catalogue care

Partners chosen for how they will look after the music, not only for what they will pay for it.

Complete discretion

Confidentiality agreements from the first conversation. Nothing is discussed publicly or shared without consent.

Your name, honoured

The story, the credits and the way the work is presented stay true to the people who made it.

II.

For private partners

We work with a small number of family offices and private funders who value cultural assets and long-term stewardship. Introductions are made privately, by referral only, and only where there is a genuine fit on both sides.

III.

How it works

One

A private conversation

An initial, confidential discussion under mutual NDA, usually through someone we both know.

Two

Understanding the catalogue

Specialists review the rights and history so every party has a clear, honest picture.

Three

A considered introduction

We introduce suitable private partners. We do not advise, negotiate on anyone’s behalf or handle funds.

Four

Completed by the parties

Agreements are documented by each party’s own lawyers and, where required, regulated firms.

IV.

A modern approach to a discreet craft

We use AI-assisted research to prepare each introduction carefully. It supports personal judgement and long-standing relationships; it never replaces them.

Discreet research

Background work on catalogues, rights and market context, carried out quietly and in-house.

Thoughtful matching

Identifying partners whose interests and values genuinely align with the artist or estate.

Confidential by design

No client information is shared or published. Everything remains private.

V.

A trusted network of independent specialists

Where helpful, we can introduce experienced entertainment lawyers, catalogue valuers, tax and structuring advisers and strategists.

These specialists are independent of Coda Legacy Partners and are engaged directly by the parties, on their own terms. We make the introduction only.

Confidentiality is the foundation of what we do. Conversations are private, introductions are made only with consent, and nothing is shared without it.
