The roots of the company were founded through the acquisition of Hill & Range UK affiliate Belinda (London) Ltd., which Freddy renamed Carlin Music Corporation after his daughter Caroline (who was later the Chief Executive Officer and President of Carlin America), and established as his UK business.

For his American business he established Hudson Bay Music Inc. in 1972, now known as Carlin America, Inc.

During the 1970’s, "Carlin Music" administered many US catalogues including Walt Disney and Motown’s publishing company "Jobete".

In 1984, Freddy acquired Chappell Music and became its Worldwide President, with Carlin becoming an administered company. After Freddy sold "Chappell" to Time Warner four years later, he restructured Carlin as an independent international publishing organization with Carlin Music as the London-based main office for the company's UK and European operations.
