We're a Marseille-based independent music publisher with over 20 years of experience — creating music, building artistic collaborations, composing original scores, and placing music in films, series and commercials, across France and internationally.
Through our sub-publishing network, we manage and maximise the value of music rights worldwide.
We connect artists and producers to create great music — across genres, borders, and scenes. From writing camps to co-publishing, from sync placements to original compositions, we support artists and productions at every stage of the creative process.
