Renowned Kenyan music producers Teddy B and Ihaji have signed copyright management agreements with IP Advisory and Management Services Ltd (IPAMS).
The partnership aims to ensure that both producers are fairly compensated for the commercial use of their music compositions across various platforms.
With the rise of digital music distribution and streaming services, protecting creators' rights has become increasingly vital. The music industry in Africa continues to grow tremendously, with streaming platforms and international collaborations bringing African sounds such as Afrobeats to the global stage.
However, this growth has also highlighted the challenges of copyright protection and fair compensation for creators. The partnership between Teddy B, Ihaji, and IPAMS aims to address these concerns
Under the terms of the agreement, IPAMS will take on the crucial role of tracking, collecting, and securing royalties from companies that use the producers' music. This includes managing relationships with broadcasters, streaming platforms, and all commercial entities that benefit from their creative work.
"This partnership is a big step for me in securing the value of my work. With IPAMS on board, I am confident that my rights as a producer will be protected and my royalties will be collected," noted Teddy B
Ihaji echoed similar sentiments,
"The music industry is evolving rapidly and it is more important than ever to ensure that creators are compensated. I'm delighted that IPAMS will be taking care of my copyright administration so that I can focus more on creating music".
IPAMS specializes in protecting and managing the copyright interests of creators, ensuring they are compensated for the commercial use of their work. The company’s expertise in royalty administration and legal protection makes it an ideal partner for high-profile producers like Teddy B and Ihaji.
The move comes at a critical time when digital platforms have transformed the way music is consumed and monetized. While these platforms have opened up new opportunities for African artists to reach global audiences, they have also complicated the process of ensuring fair compensation for creators.
The move by the t producers highlights a growing trend of artists and producers taking a more business-oriented approach to their careers. By partnering with copyright management companies, they can focus on their creative work while ensuring they receive the financial rewards they deserve.
