Kobalt Music Launches New KOSIGN Platform
Kobalt Music has launched new publishing platform KOSIGN, designed to empower artists, songwriters and producers to collect their publishing royalties seamlessly.
KOSIGN aims to provide 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. Kobalt estimates there is over $1 billion publishing royalties to collect for this underserved market every year, and KOSIGN is built to help artists claim it.
“For too long, talented emerging artists have struggled to navigate the complexities of music publishing and collect the royalties they’ve rightfully earned,” says 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.”
Built on Kobalt’s global infrastructure, KOSIGN offers a streamlined, intuitive experience that makes publishing simple, efficient, and transparent. According to Kobalt, key features of the new platform include:
– Global Royalty Collection – Collects publishing royalties directly from DSPs in most territories, powered by the same platform trusted by Kobalt’s top-tier clients.
– Seamless Song Registration – One streamlined interface to submit songs for global registration, handled by Kobalt’s expert admin team.
– 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.
– Expert Support – Backed by Kobalt’s world-class publishing admin team.
– Selective Platform — Open via application and invite-only, ensuring top-tier admin quality.
“KOSIGN is more than just a platform—it’s a movement,” says 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.”
