Patrick Moxey (US)

Patrick Moxey, the founder of Ultra Music, Ultra Publishing, Payday Records and Helix Records, is by all accounts a visionary pioneer who has pushed past barriers to bring hip-hop and electronic dance music into the mainstream, where it squarely sits in 2026.

Today, Patrick runs global independents Payday Music Publishing, Helix Records and Payday Records - maintaining offices and studios in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, London, Berlin and Paris. With over 50 employees and affiliated operations in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Asia, and Australia.

However, his labels started out small and were always (and remain) a personal obsession of one man who loved dance and hip hop music before it was considered “cool” in cities and the suburbs alike.

Moxey is now the Executive Producer of three Grammy award-winning records. Payday Publishing songwriters and producers have been nominated for hundreds of Grammy awards with many contributions to award-winning projects across hip-hop, dance, pop, reggae, jazz and other genres.

He’s been instrumental in the careers of many artists, including Pharrell, Jay Z, Steve Aoki, Beenie Man, Gangstarr, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Tiesto, Kygo, Sofi Tukker, AR/CO and many more.

From the birth of house music in Chicago and the rise of hiphop in New York in the 80’s, up to the present day and looking into the future, Patrick continues to be a driving force in the music industry.
