Edition Kleefeld / Hanseatic in cooperation with Warner/Chappell Music Inc.
Philosophy
Kleefeld Publishing is
– a gate to Warner/Chappell Music Inc.
– a filter,
– a controler and reminder
because this mega-publisher can’t communicate with every band who are co-published by them.
Giving and taking
Individual work by knowing the band, accurate deals for both sides, information and communication, that is the base for a successfull cooperation with Kleefeld Publishing.
Most publisher gives either money OR additional work – We (can) give you both !
Kleefeld Publishing prefers bands and artists, who have their roots in the so called „independent scene“, but who can reach the wide audience by writing songs who are not limited to a certain scene.
History
Satisfied with the Work of Warner Chappell and through two years of work with Warner as a co-publisher for De/Vision, we came to the result, that it would make sense to build a new company that also cooperates with Warner Chappel.
Through the fact that more and more so called „underground independent music bands“ have a huge potential and that there are some many talents who need support, we created Kleefeld Publishing as a helping hand company.
Kleefeld Publishing usually works with bands and artists whose electronic music includes voices.
