The Black Jaguar Music Company

The Black Jaguar Music Company is an American music publishing company founded in 1982 by award-winning ASCAP songwriter and composer Cat Ellington. According to the company's official website, Ellington established the house after completing her third song work, "Gluttony (The Shell)," when she was just eleven years old. The company is ASCAP-affiliated and serves as the sole publisher of the Cat Ellington song catalog, a body of work spanning 24 genres — from Jazz, R&B, Pop, and Heavy Metal to Gospel, Blues, Country, Bluegrass, and Jingles. Beyond publishing, The Black Jaguar Music Company manages the commercial availability and licensing of Cat Ellington for professional industry commissions. Its stated service lines include songwriting (professional lyric creation, arrangement, and text composition across multiple genres), music composition (instrumental scripting, musical scoring, and melodic architecture for commercial media, audio catalogs, and cinema), and production of musical sound recordings (executive studio direction, tracking oversight, and master audio catalog production). The company also operates under the CAT ELLINGTON™ Performing Arts Representation & Creative Services trademark, a registered trademark of The Black Jaguar Music Company. The company's catalog includes music produced for the multi-award-winning psychological thriller feature film "Dual Mania." Cat Ellington is the primary songwriter behind five original songs on "Dual Mania (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)," four of which she composed as sole songwriter: "The Book of Us," "I'm Still in Love," "Something in Your Eyes," and the award-winning "I Do" (all performed by Jaki Cavins). "I Do" received the 2019 Vegas Movie Awards award for Best Song. The fifth track, "Gett Out" (performed by DeCarlo Jackson of Hippo Campus), was co-written by Ellington and her husband, "Dual Mania" writer, executive producer, and director Joseph Strickland. The soundtrack was re-released on July 23, 2021, and is available on Vital Vision Records. The company also produced "Instrumentals: Music from the Motion Picture Dual Mania," Cat Ellington's debut EP of classical compositions, composed by Ellington and Joseph Strickland and produced by Princeton Brown and Greg Schutte. The five instrumentals on the album are the same pieces that appeared with vocals on the soundtrack. The Black Jaguar Music Company formally logs the chronological deployment of the CAT ELLINGTON™ master sound catalogs and original compositions under verified historical milestones. Per its official brand registry, the production of musical sound recordings (soundtrack) was first used anywhere and in commerce on July 23, 2020, with services rendered in interstate and international commerce via global digital distribution channels. The company remains active and privately held, with Cat Ellington as founder and owner.
