We’re pleased to announce the addition of Q-Factory to our collection of labels and warmly welcome Q-Factory founder and legendary creative director Robert Etoll to our ranks.
Based in Los Angeles, the Q-Factory catalogue currently consists of over 75 meticulously created albums comprising over 3,500 instrumental tracks, all produced or executive produced by Etoll. The catalogue will be featured on West One Music’s website, and the company will assume all administrative tasks worldwide, including marketing, clearances, licensing, and royalty processing, through a global management agreement. Q-Factory will continue to be owned by MEP Capital, an investment firm specialising in media and entertainment.
Etoll launched the Q-Factory library 25 years ago, building it album by album with his own compositions, along with contributions from other specialist trailer composers, often trained by Etoll himself. He was a pioneer in creating sound design and epic hybrid music for licensing, and Q-Factory sound design has become the gold standard for movie trailer soundtracks. The library is utilised by virtually every film studio and TV network for its trailers and promos. Q-Factory music and sound design can be heard in recent marketing campaigns for, among many others, Wicked, Twisters, Deadpool & Wolverine, Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, Netflix’s Arcane and Love Is Blind, and Amazon Prime’s The Rings of Power.
West One Music was founded in 2002 as an independent production music company. Today, we have offices and production studios in 15 countries. With the addition of Q-Factory, we now have 16 distinct labels, along with a thriving custom music division. Meanwhile, Etoll will contribute to the company, working with our creative team in Los Angeles.
“I am beyond thrilled to join forces with a global powerhouse like West One Music,” said Etoll. “This move both enhances the footprint of the Q-Factory catalogue and continues the truly independent, music-first approach I’ve always lived by.”
“We are immensely proud to bring Robert and Q-Factory into our fold,” said West One Music global CEO Edwin Cox. “The music and sound design of Q-Factory is iconic, and its production values are unsurpassed. Robert is a one-of-a-kind music creative and a true legend in the trailer production community. We look forward to a long and exciting creative partnership to continue delivering outstanding music and sound design to the entertainment and consumer marketing world.”
