UK independent publisher Respect Music| has today signed a deal with the Kassner Music Group for worldwide administration of its copyrights.

The agreement means that the Kassner Music Group will now represent Respect Music|’s exciting range of songwriters, including Nell Bryden|, whose new track Not Like Loving You has been BBC Radio 2 A-listed for the last three weeks, explosive UK hip-hop prospect Tenny Ten a.k.a. 10Shott| and Emmy-nominated composer Sarah Class|.

Kassner Music Group head David Kassner expressed his happiness at having secured the contract: “It’s exciting for both parties. It will allow Respect Music to concentrate their efforts on discovering new songwriters and us to work with the expanding stable of rising talent that Respect Music is establishing.”

Respect Music| director Sharon Dean explained the reasons for her choice of business partner: “I have known David a number of years both as a publisher and in my previous guise of Director of Licensing at PRS for Music. We believe that our catalogue slots nicely into the Kassner roster and are pleased to have inked this deal.”

Both publishers now head to MIDEM where amongst other things they will be looking to secure new opportunities for Respect Music|’s diverse range of artists.
