As President of music rights management company Kilometre Music Group, Rodney Murphy works alongside publishing legend and CEO Michael McCarty, sourcing, negotiating, and acquiring music rights for hits. His track record in this sphere speaks for itself. Kilometre Music Group has an impressive catalogue of over 2,000 songs, including 8 of Spotify’s 20 most-streamed songs of all time (The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” and “Starboy” and Drake’s “One Dance” are on that list). Over the past 18 months, Kilometre has welcomed 10 songwriters, producers, and artists collectively amassing over 5 billion streams. Signings include, in May 2023, the catalogue of William Phillip, co-writer of Sam Smith’s mammoth (1.7B Spotify streams) hit “Stay With Me.” Kilometre has recently completed five music deals for a combined $53 million, including stakes in Taylor Swift singles “Lavender Haze” and “Karma,” plus hits by Drake (“Fair Trade”), The Weeknd (“Lost In the Fire” and “Reminder”), Kendrick Lamar, Future and more.
