Deftones Sell Majority Of Their Catalog To Warner Music Group
According to Billboard, Deftones have sold most of their music catalog to Warner Music Group. The deal included the band’s master-recording royalties, co-publishing interests, and writer’s royalties.
The group were reportedly asking for a “mid-to high-double-digit multiple” for the catalog. Billboard also added the following about that:
“That multiple refers to how many times net label share and net publisher’s share (a.k.a. gross profit) can be divided into the valuation price. While publishing deals usually carry a higher multiple than master-recording royalties, that gap has been narrowing in recent years.
Today, music assets generally trade — depending on the catalog’s heritage and the rights involved — in a 12- to 18-times-multiple range, though superstar artists and songwriters have been known to achieve above 20-times multiples.”
Notably, Warner already owned the band’s master recordings and their publishing was handled in-house through Warner Chappell. It was also mentioned that one member chose to keep their share of publishing and master-recording royalties.

Netflix Announce “The Rise Of The Red Hot Chili Peppers” Documentary
Netflix will be streaming a new Red Hot Chili Peppers documentary, titled “The Rise Of The Red Hot Chili Peppers,” on March 20. The film was directed by Ben Feldman and it will focus on the early years of the band including the influence of late guitarist Hillel Slovak. Feldman told Variety the following:
“It’s a true honor to partner with Netflix to bring ‘The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ to a global audience. At its heart, this is a deeply relatable story — about the friendships that shape our identities and the lasting power of the bonds forged in adolescence. What’s less relatable, of course, is that here those friends went on to create one of the greatest rock bands in history. I’m profoundly grateful to the band and to Hillel’s family for their trust and generosity, and to Netflix for helping bring this story to the world stage.”
