“The demand for music from Africa and other developing regions is growing, and these professional creatives deserve to be a part of the international music marketplace. There is a need for them to have open access to global publishing and distribution options that protect their rights and ensure they’re fairly paid. This initiative with Sound Royalties not only introduces and launches new talent, but helps creatives around the world thrive in their careers.”

“I kept meeting people doing business with Sound Royalties, and then bumping into Alex backstage and on the red carpet. It was a vibe - I knew we were meant to work together. As a business mogul, I’m going to continue to release and own the world’s biggest music and Sound Royalties makes that easier. These are my guys.”

“Retaining the rights to my music is extremely important and Sound Royalties was very helpful in creating a deal that did just that.”

Nothing is going to hold back my creativity this year. I am very excited to be teaming up with Sound Royalties to help bring my plans for 2018 to life. Sound Royalties understands the music world and is helping me utilize my past successes to fund and propel new projects and continue creatively evolving.

“Musicians need to know it is possible to get their music to fans without giving up ownership. Alex and his team have developed an innovative solution that empowers artists to have more control in their careers by providing customized funding solutions without sacrificing their copyrights. I believe that long-term success is as much about the business as it is about the music, so partnering with Sound Royalties in their mission is a natural."

Sound Royalties offers an option for songwriters to get funding from their previous and future successes without selling the farm. In the music business, sometimes it’s hard to get the ball rolling, especially for independent artists and writers.
