Company Profile
The Kassner group has a heritage of over 65 years and represents one of the great independent catalogues of popular music that includes Rock Around the Clock ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK by JIMMY DE KNIGHT,MAX FREEDMAN|, You Really Got Me YOU REALLY GOT ME by RAYMOND DAVIES| and All Day and All of the Night ALL DAY AND ALL OF THE NIGHT by RAYMOND DAVIES|, tracks widely acknowledged to have changed the face of popular music with their release. The total number of owned or administered copyrights currently exceeds seventy thousand and we are constantly looking to add songs of quality to our collection. Turnover and volume of business have grown throughout the duration of our existence but we have always maintained a tight, modern and well-run operation, with an international network of affiliates and sub-publishers which has allowed us to maximise the value of the copyrights in our care.
Our aim is to offer outstanding personal service to our clients whilst continuing to increase our presence by the direct signing of both new and established songwriters and composers, catalogue acquisition and administration of copyrights. Recent examples of our approach in each of these areas are the exclusive publishing agreement entered into with up-and-coming composer, Chris Turpin| of the band, Kill It Kid|, our purchase of the Sash!| dance music catalogue and the administration of the songs of Tangerine Music, which include the R&B classic Hit the Road Jack HIT THE ROAD JACK by PERCY MAYFIELD| made famous by Ray Charles|. Above all, we are committed to the creative process, understanding and protecting the value of music in a rapidly evolving global environment.
