Clarkson’s most acclaimed and recognizable hits are included
HarbourView Equity Partners (HarbourView), a multi-strategy investment firm focused on investment opportunities in music, sports, media and entertainment industries, has announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with global superstar and multi-hyphenate entertainer Kelly Clarkson, acquiring a portion of her life’s works, marking a significant addition to the firm’s portfolio of iconic artists. The acquisition includes some of Clarkson’s most acclaimed and recognizable hits, including “Since U Been Gone,” “Because of You,” “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You),” “Behind These Hazel Eyes,” and “Underneath the Tree.”
“My music is such a huge part of my journey – not just professionally, but personally,” Clarkson shares. “Knowing these songs will continue to be heard and discovered by new generations means everything to me. I’m grateful to HarbourView for valuing and supporting this catalogue the way they do.”
“Kelly Clarkson is a one-of-a-kind artist whose voice and songwriting have left a permanent mark on music and pop culture. In addition to her musical genius, Kelly is a multi-hyphenate in entertainment, which is very aligned with our platform at HarbourView which invests across the broad entertainment segment,” adds Sherrese Clarke, Founder and CEO of HarbourView Equity Partners. “Her catalogue is filled with anthems that have defined moments for millions of people. We’re thrilled to partner with Kelly and help ensure these songs continue resonating for decades to come.”
Clarkson rose to stardom in 2002 as the inaugural winner of American Idol and has since solidified her place as one of the most accomplished and versatile artists of her generation. She is a three-time Grammy Award winner, including two wins for Best Pop Vocal Album – a category she was the first artist to win twice with Breakaway and Stronger. She also holds the record for most nominations in that category, with six different albums recognized.
With over 25 million albums and 40 million singles sold worldwide, Clarkson’s catalogue is filled with timeless hits, including 17 singles with multi-Platinum, Platinum, or Gold certifications like Miss Independent and Because of You. She has received multiple American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, and has won eight Daytime Emmy Awards as the host of The Kelly Clarkson Show. Clarkson is also the first artist to top Billboard’s Pop, Adult Contemporary, Country, and Dance charts – a testament to her genre-defying talent and cultural reach. She is currently headlining The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
This transaction marks another significant milestone in HarbourView’s expansion of its entertainment portfolio, underscoring the company’s ongoing commitment to investing in culturally resonant content from top-tier artists and creators. With approximately $2.67 billion in regulatory assets under management and 70+ music catalogs to date — including iconic names such as T-Pain, James Fauntleroy, George Benson, Luis Fonsi, Fleetwood Mac’s Christine McVie, Pat Benatar, Neil Giraldo, Nelly, Wiz Khalifa, Kane Brown and more — HarbourView continues to solidify its position as a leading player in music and entertainment investing.
