Outasight - Songwriter + Publisher Royalties

Most catalogs would kill for one of these placements. Outasight's catalog has hundreds.

Built around a Yonkers-born singer-songwriter best known for "Tonight Is the Night" — the single Pepsi turned into a 2012 Super Bowl moment alongside Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, and Mariah Carey — this catalog has been picked up, licensed, and re-licensed across nearly every major studio, network, and brand category over the last decade. Its compositions have scored ad campaigns for Toyota, Dell, Google, Sony PlayStation, and AT&T DirecTV. They've carried trailers for Universal's Secret Life of Pets 2, Disney's Ron's Gone Wrong, Netflix's Murder Mystery 2, Hulu's The Valet, and Disney+'s Timmy Failure. They've fronted CBS College Football, the NFL Pro Bowl, NBC's NBA Tip Off promos, and ABC's promo campaign for Jimmy Kimmel Live. The catalog is represented on the publishing side by BMG, one of the three largest music publishers in the world.

Here's what most sync stories miss: the upfront fee is only the front half of the deal. Every time one of those placements re-airs — every cable rerun of Central Intelligence, Shazam!, The Meg, Bad Moms Christmas, or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows; every new season of Grey's Anatomy, Shameless, Hawaii Five-0, or Sex Lives of College Girls; every NFL telecast that opens with one of these tracks — BMI pays again. Those backend performance royalties have run within one percent of each other across the last two years, settled at roughly $17,400 per twelve months. The placements aged into the catalog.

What has slowed is the new-deal pace. Upfront sync fees ran roughly $109,000 in 2021 and have stepped down each year since — explaining essentially all of the catalog's softness against its three-year average. But the channel is still working, and "The Real Thing" is doing the work: NBC's NBA Tip Off promos paid out roughly $5,400 in Q1 2026, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live promo paid out roughly $5,100 in Q4 2025, and Gila River Casino paid out roughly $12,700 on "Attention" in Q2 2024. One composition, two major-network placements in back-to-back quarters. New placements would be upside; the existing footprint is the floor.

For an investor, that's the whole pitch. Sync got the songs in the door at Toyota, at Disney, at Netflix, at the NFL, at the NBA. The performance royalties are what those doors keep paying. At a 9.42-year dollar age, this isn't a catalog still trying to prove itself — it's one that already has.

The catalog centers on Outasight, a singer-songwriter raised in Yonkers, New York. His breakthrough single, "Tonight Is the Night" (2011), peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100, reached number 18 in Australia, was certified Platinum by the RIAA for over 1 million units sold in the U.S. The song became culturally embedded through a 2012 Pepsi Super Bowl campaign, was used as the player-introduction theme at the 2012 NHL All-Star Game in Ottawa; served as the theme song for the 1000th episode of WWE's Monday Night RAW; and was performed live on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in January 2012. 

The bulk of the catalog comes from a tight group of Outasight singles and album cuts released between 2011 and 2019 across four studio albums: Nights Like These (2012), Big Trouble (2015), Richie (2017), and Future Vintage Soul (2018). "Do Something Crazy (Good Vibes Only)" (2016) and "The Boogie" (2015). "Fire It Up" (2019) and "We Love It" (2018) sit just behind. These are the compositions that drove the catalog's major-brand and major-studio sync work: "Good Vibes Only" anchored the Toyota 2021–22 campaigns, the NordicTrack S22i deal, the Secret Life of Pets 2 trailer, and Apple TV's The Snoopy Show; "Fire It Up" carried 3M's 2022 commercial and the NordicTrack "Family Affair" campaign; "We Love It" anchored the 2019 CBS College Football promo package; "Wild Life" has accumulated roughly 90 million lifetime streams and was placed in Google's "Groceries" internet spot and Hulu's The Valet.

The catalog also includes meaningful outside-performer co-writes. "The Real Thing," produced by Cook Classics with an Outasight feature, has been placed in Dell's Olympic campaign and Disney's Ron's Gone Wrong, and is the source of the 2025 ABC Jimmy Kimmel Live promo. "Attention," performed by Chelsea Perkins, was the underlying composition for the Gila River Casino 2023 and 2024 campaigns.
