SESAC Music Group has acquired Music Services, a music administration organization servicing publishers and labels with their own proprietary licensing and royalty management database program.

Music Services offers a comprehensive set of back-office administrative services including song registration, licensing, royalty collections, copyright clearances and more. For over 35 years, Music Services has been a partner to more than 250 companies, issuing over 262,000 licenses. The company will remain in their Nashville headquarters and will continue to function as a standalone business within SESAC Music Group under the leadership of Lynn Lowe, Music Services President, who has been with the company for 15 years.

“We are thrilled to bring our licensing and administration services and over thirty years of experience to SESAC Music Group, a company that is so clearly aligned with our mission to support creators and independent publishers,” says Lowe. “The entire leadership team shares our vision and is eager to support our goal for continued growth, and we look forward to working together for many years.”

“We are honored to have Music Services in the SESAC Music Group family,” says SESAC Music Group Chairman and CEO John Josephson. “The quality of their label and publishing services and integrity of the team is unparalleled, and we are excited to help them expand their reach to a broader set of independent labels and publishers globally.”
