PEN Music Group, Inc.
PEN Music Group, Inc. has operated as a full-service independent music publishing company since 1994, when Michael Eames co-founded it as an alternative to the large multinational publishers. That independent spirit infuses everything PEN does as it celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2019. PEN provides one-on-one attention to their clients and leverages their worldwide network of both administrative and creative relationships to maximize the value of the copyrights they represent.
PEN proudly represents a catalog spanning every musical genre, from pop, rock, R&B and hip-hop to folk, jazz standards, Latin, world music, and film and video game scores.
Shoot the Noise
Since its inception in 2011, the SHOOT THE NOISE model of handpicking select, world-class artists has proven to be quite fruitful, resulting in hundreds of placements across all forms of media, including many successes with longtime clients LEE DEWYZE, BATTLEME, G TOM MAC and more.
In addition to working with us on these artists, MAXIMAL MUSIC SYNC will help to broaden the reach for select acts within the STN roster, including electronic alternative band THE NEW RED SUN, AMY GUESS (dark cathartic pop), 60’s revival-cool, latin and jazz band TIGER CLUB, GANGSTAGRASS, whose unique brand of Hip-Hop/Bluegrass recently reached #1 on the Billboard charts and the new album “The Art of Falling Apart” by Canadian vocal powerhouse, platinum-selling, six-time JUNO award winner SERENA RYDER, whose new single “Better Now”, just debuted at #1 at Apple Music Canada.
