broke records Launches Publishing Wing, broke publishing

broke records, an indie label founded under the Create Music Group umbrella, has opened a new publishing arm entitled broke publishing. Upon launch, the publisher represents 6,600 ISRCs.

The details:

• Brennen Bryant will serve as Head of Publishing.

• He has previously held the position of Senior Director of A&R at Avex USA Publishing and worked on tours for Drake and G-Eazy at The Revels Group.

What they said:

• Bryant: “Leading the publishing division at broke publishing feels like a natural next chapter for me. I’ve had the opportunity to learn how impactful publishing companies are built through my time at Avex USA Publishing and across every role I’ve held. I’m bringing those lessons to broke to build something intentional and ambitious: a company that genuinely champions writers and producers and thinks globally from day one. The vision is to help shape the next generation of producers and writers while building one of the most forward-thinking publishing companies to highlight the incredible work already done at broke records.”

• Andre Benz, CEO and Co-founder of broke records: “Brennen has one of the sharpest creative instincts I’ve come across, but what really sets him apart is how deeply he understands the people behind the music. He’s built real trust with creatives at every stage of their careers, and he knows how to turn creative momentum into long-term growth. Launching broke publishing with Brennen at the helm felt like a natural next step for us.”
