Kobalt has inked a deal with UK-headquartered indie publisher Sync Music Global for worldwide sub-publishing and administration.

The deal:

• Kobalt will oversee global administration for Sync Music Global’s catalog and roster of songwriters and producers.

• The companies will also form a joint venture through which they can collaborate on future writing signings and accelerate Sync Music Global’s expansion into new creative markets.

The roster:

• Sync Music Global was founded by UK rapper Avelino, alongside music executives Gautier Mukuna and Rowland Ashitey.

• Its clients include Avelino, Blanco, Black Sherif, One Acen, JB Scofield, Kylie Evans, double-platinum producer Anitiwave, and more.

Achievements:

• Sync Music Global has secured placements across film, television, gaming and brand campaigns.

What they said:

• Avelino, Mukuna and Ashitey in a statement: “Sync Music has consistently demonstrated its ability to discover and develop groundbreaking talent from the underground scene. Our partnership with Kobalt allows us to scale that mission globally, ensuring writers’ rights are protected, royalties are efficiently collected, and music reaches the widest possible audience. Many writers and producers – especially in our scene – are still unaware of the sync opportunities and royalties available to them, and this partnership helps us change that.”
