Payday Publishing

Formerly known as Ultra International Music Publishing, Payday Publishing stands at the forefront of independent global music publishing. With a legacy shaped by founder Patrick Moxey, also behind the iconic Payday Records label launched in 1992, the company has rebranded but continues to operate with the same vision, roster, and expertise. With a diverse catalog of over 70,000 copyrights, Payday Publishing represents a global spectrum of artists and genres, from hip-hop and pop to electronic, jazz, and reggae. Their publishing portfolio includes work from world-renowned talents like Post Malone, Ed Sheeran, Travis Scott, 21 Savage, Katy Perry, Martin Garrix, and Future. Many of their writers are multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated creators whose songs dominate charts and streaming platforms alike. Payday is also known for its global writing camps, held in cultural hubs such as Seoul, Paris, Ibiza, Palm Springs, and during major events like Coachella. These camps connect Payday’s songwriters with top-tier partners like Atlantic Records, Hybe, JYP, SM Entertainment, and Warner Music, nurturing cutting-edge collaborations in both mainstream and sync-focused markets. While the name has changed, the mission remains the same: supporting world-class songwriting talent, driving artistic growth, and staying ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving music industry. Payday Publishing is more than a new name: it’s the next chapter in independent music excellence.
