HarbourView Equity Partners have announced a new strategic partnership with the legendary, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Chaka Khan, focused on catalog development, global licensing, and the development of new creative ventures.
The partnership comes at a defining moment in Khan's career, as she builds momentum in a bold new creative era following the release of her single "Chakzilla," and the successful completion of the Queens! 4 Legends, 1 Stage tour, recognized by Billboard as one of the highest-grossing R&B tours of the year.
"Chaka Khan is a remarkable talent - an artist whose voice, spirit, and presence have moved effortlessly across generations while never losing their power or soul," said Sherrese Clarke, Founder and CEO of HarbourView. "She is not only an iconic vocalist, but a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose energy, authenticity, and sense of self continue to inspire. As both a musical force and a fashion icon, Chaka embodies a rare blend of strength, style, and spirit. We are honored to work alongside her as she continues to evolve her legacy in ways that feel as vibrant and resonant as ever."
"Music is the most powerful and generous thing I know, you give it away and somehow it always comes back bigger. Seeing these songs still finding new ears and new hearts fills me up with joy," said Khan. "This beautiful group at HarbourView gets what my music means, not just as a business, but as a body of love. That matters to me deeply."
Khan is an 11-time Grammy Award-winner whose voice has helped shape the sound of modern music for more than five decades. "I Feel for You," the groundbreaking crossover hit made history as the first R&B track to feature a rap artist, Grandmaster Melle Mel.
She was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2023, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and the BET Lifetime Achievement Award.
