Own a Piece of Your Favorite Song — And Get Paid Every Month
Description
Tim Gallagher - The RIFF - S1 ep7
What if your favorite song could pay you every month — forever?
Most people have no idea that music royalties exist as an investable asset class. In this episode of The Riff, hosts Gary O'Brien and Jeremy Green sit down with Tim Gallagher — founder of Music Royalties Inc. and former Chairman & CEO of Metalla Royalty — to pull back the curtain on one of the most overlooked investment opportunities on the planet.
Tim breaks down how he built a portfolio of 7,000 songs (including pieces of Rolling Stones, Dire Straits, Eminem, and Avicii) that has already paid out over $14 million in monthly dividends — and why he believes music royalties beat stocks, real estate, and even Bitcoin.
In this episode you'll learn:
- Why a single hit song can generate $1M+ per year in streaming income — indefinitely
- How copyright law gives you a 150-year monopoly on the internet
- The secret $500M/year payment system hiding in Canada that almost nobody knows about
- How platforms like Spotify are driving billions in new royalty cashflow
- How YOU can invest in music royalties — even as a regular person
- Why legends like the Rolling Stones, The Who, and Eminem are part of this portfolio
Whether you're a music lover, an investor, or an artist wondering how to secure your financial future — this episode will change how you think about music forever.
