Consumed By Fire – Sound Recording Performance Royalties

This asset includes SoundExchange royalties from the rising contemporary Christian (CCM) group Consumed By Fire. SoundExchange collects and pays digital performance royalties paid by non-interactive platforms—satellite radio (SiriusXM), internet radio (Pandora, iHeartRadio), and webcasters, including K-LOVE via Educational Media Foundation. Each time the group’s recordings play on these services, a statutory royalty is paid.

Spanning key releases First Things First (2023) and Giving Over (2016), the catalog has generated $187,521 in total royalties to date, led by “What If” and the title track "First Things First." Earnings were strongest in the initial year at $87,924, followed by $54,150 in Year 2, a typical post-release pattern as early momentum normalizes into steady airplay. With a Dollar Age of nearly 3 years, the catalog is still relatively young and appears to be transitioning toward more stability. With new music on the horizon, Consumed By Fire remains an active artist, a positive signal for ongoing airplay, since digital radio and webcasters tend to feature a catalog more heavily during release cycles.

For investors, this is an opportunity to own a young royalty stream tied to an active, chart-performing artist, one still early in its earnings life, with new music on the horizon to help carry momentum forward.

Consumed By Fire is a contemporary Christian trio of brothers Caleb, Jordan, and Joshua Ward, raised in a pastor’s family in Oklahoma. What began as a church ministry has grown into one of the more recognizable acts in CCM today.

Their breakout came with First Things First (2023). The title track, "First Things First" (2022), reached No. 2 on Christian radio charts and earned a K-LOVE Fan Award nomination for breakout single of the year along with Gospel Music Association’s Dove Awards recognition in the same cycle. . Follow-up tracks "Walk With Jesus" and "What If" extended their run on Christian radio, reinforcing steady airplay and audience growth.

The asset also includes an early album, Giving Over (2016), reflecting their foundational sound and early development. Together, the catalog captures a clear arc, from independent roots to a sibling trio with real traction in the CCM market.
