Sixx signs publishing deal with Downtown
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 14 January 2009
Motley Crue co-founder Nikki Sixx has signed a worldwide publishing deal with US-based indie music publisher Downtown Music Publishing.
The publisher will administrate rights on all of Sixx’s songs, including Motley Crue hits like ‘Shout At The Devil’ and ‘Girls Girls Girls’, plus manage sync rights on Motley Crue recordings, and the recordings of artists signed to Sixx’s label Eleven Seven Music, which includes Trapt and Drowning Pool.
Downtown boss Justin Kalifowitz said this: “We are extremely honoured to represent the songs of Nikki Sixx, one of the greatest rock songwriters of our generation. Through this innovative partnership, Nikki’s publishing copyrights and Motley’s master recordings will now be marketed and promoted in lock-step. Combined with Eleven Seven’s premier roster, we can now offer the licensing community a destination for the best in both iconic and contemporary rock music”.
Sixx added: “In a time of industry consolidation, signing with a boutique publisher who can focus on thousands of songs instead of millions is just smart business”.
