Downtown Music Publishing has struck a global music publishing agreement with Outer Voice Music Publishing, the newly formed subsidiary of The Outer Voice Company founded by artists JAM & Philly.
The agreement aims to drive exposure, and promotion for South Asian songwriters, with both companies agreeing to oversee global administration, secure sync placements, and create original composition opportunities for a wide-ranging roster of songwriters within the South Asian region.
