Cutting Edge Group has acquired the full music catalog of composer John Paesano, adding another high-profile asset to its growing portfolio of film and television scores. Paesano’s catalog features more than 80 works spanning blockbuster films, prestige television, and AAA video games. His credits include the animated series *The Maze Runner* and Netflix’s *The Midnight Club*, showcasing his versatility across genres.

This deal reflects a broader industry trend where specialized music investment firms are actively purchasing publishing rights from creators. These firms see long-term value in royalty streams generated by established media properties. For composers, such transactions provide immediate liquidity and free them to focus on new projects without managing legacy assets.

Cutting Edge Group, known for acquiring and managing music rights, now controls a collection of works with strong streaming performance and cultural relevance. The acquisition strengthens its foothold in the competitive market for high-quality production music, positioning the company to license these scores for new media and advertising projects for years to come.
