Kahua offers two core publishing services:

• Administration – the collection of royalties due from the use of a songwriter or composer’s copyrights.
• Development – finding further uses for copyrights and negotiating licenses for their use.

The role of Kahua as a publisher is to:

• Register the works of songwriters and composers with all appropriate collecting societies and agencies.
• Monitor and track the use of assigned copyrights and ensure that proper payment is made for all licensed uses.
• Make royalty payments to songwriters and composers in respect of the usage of their music.
• Promote composers and songwriters to those who use music on a commercial basis such as performers, broadcasters, record companies and computer game developers.
• Negotiate licenses for the use of works.
• Take appropriate action against anyone using music without the necessary license.

We acquire copyrights from songwriters and composers and contract them to a specific agreement. We only control the copyrights that are given to us and do not contract songwriters to exclusive songwriting agreements (i.e. we don't own every song written while under contract). I n return for entire or partial ownership of songs, we administer the rights, collect the income and split it with the writer.

We pride ourselves on our reliable, responsive, efficient and transparent approach, together with a detailed knowledge of the industry and a passion for the music we work with.
