Music Business Worldwide covered the recent news of RZA’s investment in AYO.
RZA, the founder of Wu-Tang Clan, has invested in AYO Music Group, the copyright administrator co-founded by Deborah Mannis-Gardner and Pär Almqvist.
He joins Disturbing Tha Peace Records co-founders Chaka Zulu and Jeff Dixon, Atlanta- and Johannesburg-based family office CIH Group, and Ewing Athletics owner David Goldberg as investors in the company.
AYO announced the investments on Tuesday (November 10), four days before RZA is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Wu-Tang Clan. The company did not disclose the size of the round.
