Bruton Music is a British production music library founded in 1977 by Robin Phillips. It was named after Bruton Street where it was originally formed. In 1978, the library had an agreement with Regent Recorded Music for It’s representation rights in the United States until October 1983.

Michael Jackson purchased the company in 1982 from ATV Music. The composer sold the library to the Zomba Group in February 1986, while other ATV assets were acquired by CBS Records.. Zomba operated the group as part of their Zomba Production Music division. In 2002, BMG purchased the Zomba Group and amalgamated their production division to create the BMG Zomba Production Music, which Bruton is still a part of. BMG Zomba Production Music was eventually sold to Universal Publishing Production Music.

Prior to 2004, Bruton Music's catalog was divided into genres with different catalog suffixes such as BRA and BRB.
