On 15 September 2026, the Salle Cortot in Paris hosted the inaugural Billboard France Power Players ceremony. Presented by Julie Gayet, founder and president of the Sœurs Jumelles festival, the evening brought together more than 400 professionals from the French music industry. Bolero was a partner of the event.

French Drill Vol. 1 is the first drill rap catalog available on Bolero. To understand what this opportunity represents, you first need to understand the genre that created it, and the artist who embodies it in France.

Sandro, 24, graphic designer, started investing in music rights with Bolero the same way he approaches his work: with an eye for detail and a long-term vision. With +33% performance, he is building a portfolio at the intersection of his passion for culture and his convictions as an investor.

For this second episode of Bolero Partners, we sat down with Guillaume Defrance, a wealth management advisor with 30 years of experience. Thirty years of wealth management experience, a sharp reading of alternative markets, and a conviction built on the ground.

Music rights are attracting a growing number of finance professionals. To understand how they integrate them into their strategies, we decided to give them the floor. Bolero Partners is a series of conversations with professionals who integrate music rights into their allocation strategies. For this first episode, we sat down with Yohan Guy, founder of Ivy Patrimoine, a wealth management firm whose client base includes a significant share of artists and music industry professionals.

Why do artists choose to sell their catalogues? Selling all or part of one's music rights does not necessarily mean giving up control over one's work. For many artists, it is first and foremost a financing decision, designed to support their career, structure their activity, or preserve their artistic independence.
