Downtown Neighbouring Rights (DNR) has significantly expanded its portfolio by securing international agreements with Academy Award-nominated artist ANOHNI, alongside partnerships with Position Music and TH3RD BRAIN Records. This move underscores DNR's commitment to building a comprehensive global ecosystem for independent music creators and businesses. ANOHNI, a critically acclaimed British-born singer-songwriter and visual artist, will have her entire catalog represented by DNR, including her Academy Award-nominated song 'Manta Ray' and her highly anticipated 2023 album 'My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross'. This partnership highlights the importance of neighbouring rights as a vital income source for artists, a point ANOHNI herself emphasized.
In addition to ANOHNI, DNR has entered into agreements with Position Music, a powerhouse in licensing and synchronization known for its contributions to advertising, film, TV, and video game projects. Position Music has recently expanded its label division, signing artists like Kyle Dion and Elohim, further diversifying its portfolio. Similarly, TH3RD BRAIN Records, home to artists such as Emmit Fenn and Zerb, has joined DNR's growing list of clients. This label, already utilizing Downtown's distribution and royalty accounting services, now benefits from DNR's international rights representation, showcasing Downtown's strategy to offer a wide spectrum of services to its clients.
Dean Francis, General Manager of Downtown Neighbouring Rights, expressed pride in the division's achievements and its role in supporting artists and creators at all levels. These partnerships not only affirm DNR's expertise and offering but also reinforce Downtown's position as a unified platform for monetizing, distributing, publishing, and marketing music globally.
