Investors including Blackstone, Carlyle and Michigan’s state pension fund have raised at least $4.4 billion of debt backed by songs in 2025, the largest amount on record and a sign that once-niche “Bowie Bonds” have become mainstream on Wall Street.

The trend, which securitises royalties from hits by artists ranging from Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga to The Beatles, is reshaping the boundaries of structured finance as investors hunt for higher-yielding assets.

According to Financial Times analysis, the 2025 total already surpasses last year’s $3.3 billion and dwarfs the $300 million issued in 2021. There were no such deals recorded in 2020.

The model was pioneered by David Bowie in 1997, when he raised $55 million at a 7.9% yield against his future royalties. James Brown and others followed, but for two decades such deals were largely curiosities.

Now, as one large investor in music royalty debt explained:

“There is so much capital in the world, an enormous amount, and that capital is asset-seeking.”
