So proud that today four of our Karousel family see songs they wrote with the genius that is
@raye go out into the world. Record of the year, surely!
We built Karousel without a single penny of investment or funding. Built on pure love, experience, contacts, friendships and a potent antidote brewed from our own experiences as writers and artists all those years ago... and built for the extraordinary humans who bring music into our lives and make them better - both writers and musicians. Some of them became a part of that family, and many of them still are.
We’re a nimble, boutique family setup, but we have the apparatus internationally to do the best possible job in collecting every penny for our writers because of our 12 year+ relationship with our admin partners
@wixenmusicuk ,who we would recommend to anyone (and do!) But also because of both the support on our showcases from
@sesac , and because we set things up the right way under the guidance of our generous, kind, and ever present publishing legend and mentor

@sgo_music
All being well, we’ll now be able to fulfil our mission of giving some non recoupable help to some songwriters deserving of it - it’ll take some time for that to filter in from all the PRO’s around the world, but it will.
Congratulations
