The GoDigital Media Group subsidiary was created in 2012[6] by Jason Peterson and Barry Daffurn.[1] At the time, it was GoDigital Media Group's largest acquisition.[7] In 2017, GoDigital Media Group invested $20 million into Cinq to expand to other genres.[8][9] Cinq's first major non-Latin project was in 2018, when it recorded and distributed an album for Janet Jackson.[6] It also spent half of the $20 million in funding[10] to purchase the recordings catalog of the rapper T.I.[11]
The parent company invested another $40 million into Cinq to acquire additional licensing rights in 2019.[12] That investment was subsequently used to purchased the Beluga Heights Record Label, including the catalog of Jason Derulo.[10][7] Over time, Cinq expanded from being a Latin music distributor to a music label, creator, and rights management firm for a wider range of genres.[13]
GoDigital Media Group continued to invest in Cinq, receiving $100 in 2022[5] and $250 million in 2024, funding a series of acquisitions and acquiring catalog rights of the late producer Flow La Movie.[14][15]
