Jeff Price’s publishing admin company says the funds will accelerate global licensing and collection efforts.
Word Collections, the publishing administration firm launched in July 2020 by serial music industry entrepreneur, has closed on a $5 million investment round to boost the company’s global licensing and collection efforts.‘s Black Squirrel Partners was the lead investor in the round in Word, which specializes in musical and comedic recordings.
Word Collections handles global licensing for — and collections from — digital music services, thus bypassing traditional mechanical and digital performance collection societies around the world. This reduces administrative fees and helps ensure the data of its songwriters and comedians’ works are properly registered at each DSP.
Current Word clients include the publishing catalogs for Metallica and the band’s guitarist Kirk Hammett, Greta Van Fleet, Thomas Dolby, Songwriters Guild Of America, Gerencia360, St. Nicholas, Baroness, The Offspring’s Bryan “Dexter” Holland, Shriekback, DLG., Bazanji, Gomba Music, John Oates, Switchfoot and Grace Potter, among other musical songwriters.
