Master Rights

Whether it be working directly or through one of our many specialist labels, we represent some of the most respected artists on the planet for their master rights. We work tirelessly to maximise the return and value in these rights through developing, nurturing and promoting talent. This has been in our DNA since Mushroom’s first single release in 1973.

Mushroom is home to a number of world-renowned A&Rs who work hand-in-hand with an eclectic roster of artists on their music and recording strategy. Our A&R team will help realise the artists’ vision for their music and provide guidance to evolve and push their limits.
