Kobalt has launched Kosign, a music publishing royalties platform for artists, songwriters and producers.
“Powered by Kobalt’s industry-leading technology, Kosign provides a flexible, frictionless alternative to traditional publishing deals, offering artists and songwriters the tools, insights, and transparency they need to take full control of their global publishing income,” said a statement.
Kobalt estimates there is more than $1 billion in publishing royalties to collect for this underserved market every year.
“For too long, talented emerging artists have struggled to navigate the complexities of music publishing and collect the royalties they’ve rightfully earned,” said Laurent Hubert, CEO of Kobalt. “Kosign removes those barriers, giving songwriters a clear, accessible path to manage their publishing with the same power and sophistication previously reserved for major artists and songwriters.”
Key Features of Kosign include:
• Global Royalty Collection – Collects publishing royalties directly from DSPs in most territories
• Song Registration – Streamlined interface to submit songs for global registration
• Real-Time Transparency – Track earnings by territory, platform and song
• Total Flexibility – A rolling-term agreement, with ability to move elsewhere at any time
• Full Ownership – Songwriters keep 100% of their copyrights
The Kosign platform is open via application.
“Kosign is more than just a platform—it’s a movement,” said Jeannette Perez, president & chief commercial officer of Kobalt. “It’s about giving artists and songwriters the freedom and support they deserve to thrive in today’s music industry. Whether you’re an emerging artist building your career or an established songwriter looking for more flexibility, Kosign gives you the tools, transparency, and expertise to succeed.”
