“Music publishing represents the essence of why I love music,” says Eddie Sikazwe. “It’s about connecting great artists, songwriters, and producers to create art. I would like to thank the leadership team at Secretly Group for empowering me to do the work I love. I’m excited to continue building with a team that has a track record of championing and supporting artists, songwriters, and musicians throughout its history.”
“We have spent the last couple of years growing our sync and administration teams to keep up with a rapidly expanding catalog, and our publishing machine is more well-oiled than it’s ever been,” says Kathleen Cook. “I’m thrilled to have Eddie take the helm of A&R and bring a new level of energy and focus to signing talented writers. I’m also looking forward to seeing him build out a team and enable us to better serve our existing roster.”
