NEW YORK, NY – March 8, 2023 – Global publishing administrator Word Collections (https://www.wordcollections.com/ ), has entered agreements to provide global publishing administration for John Oates of Hall & Oates, Sublime with Rome (feat. members of Sublime), hitmakers Switchfoot and Reggae-rock band Dirty Heads.
With these additional signings of well-known hitmakers, Word Collections continues its rapid expansion into global music publishing administration. Word Collections’ groundbreaking, unique, direct licensing business model removing layers of middlemen and circumventing global and US based black boxes, proprietary sound recording identification technology and first of its kind income tracking systems have created the most efficient licensing and collection system in the world. By identifying recordings that have previously been unaccounted for, Word Collections’ clients routinely see increases in income by hundreds of percentage points which are paid out 6-8 months more quickly. By cutting out layers of middlemen, Word Collections true administration fee generally comes in 15-30% lower than those using the existing traditional publishing pipelines.
Word Collections was founded and launched by Jeff Price (formerly TuneCore, Audiam) in July 2020 with an initial focus on global publishing administration for comedians and other spoken word artists. A year later, in August 2021, Word Collections expanded its global publishing administration repertoire to include musical compositions. Word Collections currently administers the publishing catalogs for Metallica, Greta Van Fleet, Thomas Dolby, Songwriters Guild Of America, Gerencia360, St. Nicholas, Baroness, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, The Offspring’s Bryan “Dexter” Holland, Shriekback, DLG, Bazanji, Gomba Music, Robin Williams, George Carlin, Margaret Cho, Jerry Seinfeld, David Cross, Ron White, Bill Hicks, Bill Engvall, Billy Crystal, and numerous other songwriters, publishers, authors and spoken word comedians.
