“Lordkay took my catalog and turned it into a business. Within eighteen months I owned my masters, my publishing was collecting properly, and I was headlining the rooms I used to open.”

08 — Frequently asked

Answers to the questions you were going to email us anyway.

What kind of artists does Lordkay work with?+

Independent and signed artists at any stage — from serious emerging acts through to established international touring artists — across most genres.

Do you take equity in artist businesses?+

Rarely, and only when the artist asks for a deeper partnership. Our default is transparent commercial arrangements.

Are you a record label?+

Not currently. We are a full-service music company — management, distribution, publishing, production and promotion — and a label division is on the roadmap for 2027.

Where are your offices?+

London (HQ), New York, and Lagos, with partner networks across every major territory.

How do consultations work?+

A 45-minute discovery call with one of our directors, followed by a written recommendation and — if it fits — a scope of work.

How long is a typical engagement?+

Distribution and publishing agreements are annual. Management and consulting engagements range from six months to multi-year, always with written exit clauses.
