Music Catalogue Acquisitions

When Alexi Cory-Smith founded Bella Figura, her mission was to establish an artist-centric music company for the digital age. And that’s exactly what she has achieved, investing in a portfolio of rights from the likes of Guy Chambers, David Gray and Lil Peep – all supported by a team of passionate music rights management experts. It represents an entrepreneurial new journey for the lawyer and industry lifer, whose seven-year run as President at BMG UK saw annual revenue expand by 2000% to £120 million. A lifelong fan of the band, one of her career highlights was signing The Rolling Stones to a global publishing deal with BMG.

Chris Noxx is the Founder of FNMPG Holdings Inc., an international music rights management platform,
where he serves as Managing Director of Catalog Acquisitions and Song Management, overseeing M&A
catalog cycles and strategic investment opportunities. A JUNO-nominated, 12-time Billboard-charting
producer, composer, arranger, and FL Studio power user, Chris has collaborated with music icons across
nearly two decades. His work spans multimedia, including Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Oscar-winning
films, Emmy-winning TV projects, sports associations, and major advertising campaigns. Formerly a key
member of the multi-platinum, Grammy-winning songwriting and production team Tha Piecemakerz, he
brings a deep understanding of music asset valuation and portfolio optimization. Chris is also a
bestselling author of A Power User’s Guide to FL Studio 21 on Amazon.

I’ve been with SRLV for just over 11 years and am a consultant for all areas of the creative arts
industries, as well as Rights Management for actors, artists, producers and song writers.

Having such a variety of clients means I have in-depth knowledge to provide all round advice. My
clients have wide-ranging issues involving everything in the world of media

As a lifelong music fan and manager of a music company, I understand the intricacies of the business
and am always thinking a step ahead. Knowing the music industry inside out means that I bring a
wealth of valuable experience to my clients and can give advice on all aspects of business
management when it comes to handling their music, including the complexities of recording and
publishing rights and their touring activities. Valuation of key IP rights is now becoming one of the
important issues in daily life.

In my spare time, I watch both grass roots and professional football and I love rummaging around
charity and record shops, collecting rare and interesting records. I also manage a music company.
Part of what I value so much is that my role brings together so many of my interests and passions –
my hobbies inform my job, and vice versa.

As one of my clients says, ‘We rock until we drop’
