LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) — Seeker Music, the music rights, publishing, and record company, announced the acquisition of the publishing catalog of multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated producer and songwriter Marcos “Kosine” Palacios.
The catalog includes a selection of smash hits that Kosine wrote for other artists, including “Anaconda” (Nicki Minaj), “Birthday Cake” (Rihanna) and “DANCE (A$$)” (Big Sean), the soundtracks for hit FOX series Empire and Star, and other notable records from the likes of Justin Bieber, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, along with all of Kosine’s work as one half of the LA-based production duo Da Internz.
Additionally, as part of the deal, Kosine will collaborate with Seeker’s creative team, identify and co-sign new producer talent and curate songwriter camps at Seeker’s new recording studios and host an educational masterclass-esque platform, mentoring rising producer talent.
Kosine has already hosted one such songwriting workshop, dubbed the “Samplémoose Sessions” which saw more than two dozen music creators coming together to create new records utilizing Seeker’s classic catalog of hits.
Some of the songs that were flipped from the Seeker-SAMPLÉMOOSE vaults included Christopher Cross’s “Sailing” and “Arthur’s Theme,” The Go-Go’s “We Got The Beat,” Whitney Houston’s “Million Dollar Bill” and Fantasia’s “When I See U,” among a dozen or so others.
“In joining forces with Seeker Music and the Samplémoose initiative, I feel a profound sense of alignment with a team that not only values the legacy of music but also pioneers new pathways for creativity and innovation. This partnership marks a significant milestone in my career, offering a unique platform to reimagine the classics while nurturing the next generation of talent. I’m thrilled to embark on this journey, blending tradition with innovation, and to contribute to the music industry in a way that resonates across generations.”
