Her role at Zomba was pivotal in developing global industry insights and connections. In the early years, we also developed the publishing catalog for Massive Music.

Review

“CopyrightPower is een uitgever waar we al ruim 20 jaar mee werken. Toen we in 2000 voor CPI kozen wisten we al wel dat we een intermediair nodig hadden omdat de Buma veel laat liggen en dat het dus geld oplevert. Dat blijkt nog steeds het geval. Maar we hadden geen idee dat CPI nog zoveel meer doet dan auteursrechten innen.We kunnen altijd terecht voor vragen over Sena, music-clearance, samenwerkingen met andere partijen, juridische muziek vraagstukken, artiesten overeenkomsten, muziek promotie etc. etc.
De samenwerking is een partnership geworden waar we heel tevreden mee zijn. Kundige en fijne mensen om mee samen te werken. Ze zijn niet zwart / wit in hun aanpak en denken met je mee. Een betrouwbare partij is in de muziekwereld een must om met een goed gevoel zaken te kunnen doen.

Dat is ook een van de redenen waarom we, zonder twijfel, onze muziek delen voor hun liberry, een mooi initiatief.”
