DOWNTOWN MUSIC HOLDINGS (DOWNTOWN), has named MOLLY NEUMAN as Pres. of SONGTRUST, the world's largest technology solution for global music royalty collection and publishing administration. MOLLY joined SONGTRUST in 2017 as Global Head of Business Development. In her new role as Pres., effective immediately, MOLLY will lead all day-to-day operations for SONGTRUST, including client relations, product, and engineering, as well as society and services relations. The move was announced today (10/31) by Downtown CEO JUSTIN KALIFOWITZ and DOWNTOWN CSO JOE CONYERS III, who co-founded SONGTRUST together in 2011.

JUSTIN KALIFOWITZ said, “MOLLY’s leadership has been an essential element in SONGTRUST’s tremendous growth over the past two years. She is genuinely invested in the success of our songwriters and publisher clients, having been both herself, and is driven to help achieve SONGTRUST’s goals of delivering equity and innovation to the music rights ecosystem. As we continue to expand the broader DOWNTOWN portfolio, JOE and I have no doubt that SONGTRUST will continue to flourish as MOLLY assumes her new role as President.” 

MOLLY commented, “I am elated to be the new President of SONGTRUST, in part because I am deeply, personally connected to SONGTRUST’s core mission to support creators, songwriters, producers, composers, their representatives and the businesses who work with them in accessing the money they are due. I am grateful for the confidence placed in me by Justin and Joe, and remain committed to continuing to grow the SONGTRUST client base, drive our technological edge, and continuously improve our industry leading processes and global collection capabilities. We have an incredible team in place to make this possible and I am honored to work alongside them.”

 JOE CONYERS III added, “MOLLY is an innovative, thoughtful, strong, leader, and a true advocate for creative rights. I have no doubt MOLLY will continue to push Songtrust to fulfill its promise to democratize and increase transparency within global music royalty collection.”
