Cutting Edge Group
Overview
Cutting Edge Group is a majority family-owned private investment firm based in the United Kingdom, specializing in acquiring and managing media music rights across film, television, video games, advertising, and live entertainment. Founded in 2006 by CEO Philip Moross, the firm has built a diverse portfolio of over 2,000 titles, including soundtracks, publishing assets, and royalty income streams. Their investments encompass music featured in productions such as 'John Wick', 'Stranger Things', 'The Office', 'The Crown', 'Bridgerton', and 'Cyberpunk 2077'. The firm's strategy involves securing significant funding to support its acquisition and management activities. In April 2024, Cutting Edge secured a $500 million debt refinancing from a syndicate of four banks, led by Fifth Third Bank and Northleaf Capital Partners. This funding is intended to support the company's growth strategy and capitalize on the increasing demand for media music rights. Additionally, in January 2025, Cutting Edge partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery to form a joint venture, co-owning and managing a vast catalog of film and TV music spanning nearly a century. This collaboration includes iconic works from franchises like 'Harry Potter', 'Lord of the Rings', and TV series such as 'Friends' and 'Game of Thrones'. Cutting Edge Group's track record demonstrates its expertise in the media music rights sector. In January 2026, the firm acquired the music catalog of composer John Paesano, known for scores in the 'Maze Runner' trilogy and 'Daredevil'. This acquisition adds to their extensive portfolio, reflecting their commitment to expanding their presence in the media music industry. The company's approach combines strategic partnerships, substantial funding, and a focus on high-quality assets to enhance the value and reach of their music rights investments.
