Canadian Hit Songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk Signs Co-Publishing Deal With Anthem Entertainment

Toronto-based independent music publisher Anthem Entertainment has just announced the signing of multi-platinum, award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk to a new exclusive co-publishing agreement.

This partnership follows Anthem’s recent acquisition of a portion of Kreviazuk’s hit catalogue, one including such songs as “Boot,” “In This Life,” “Time,” “Weight of the World,” and “Get to You,” as well as major collaborations recorded by such artists as Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Pitbull, Shakira, Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani and Carrie Underwood.

In announcing Kreviazuk's new partnership with Anthem Entertainment, company CEO Jason Klein (one of Billboard Canada's 2024 Power Players) tells Billboard Canada, "In addition to her remarkable artist career, Chantal is a world-class songwriter with an outstanding catalogue of cuts to her credit, along with boundless drive and creative vision. I am thrilled to welcome Chantal into the Anthem Music Publishing family, and support the next era of her exceptional career."

Kreviazuk says the new deal is a result of the good relationship she's formed with Anthem since the initial catalogue sale.

“Working with Anthem Entertainment this past year has been an incredible experience," she says. "I’m thrilled to expand our partnership and explore new creative opportunities together.”

The Winnipeg-born and raised Kreviazuk released her full-length debut, Under These Rocks and Stones, in 1997, to critical acclaim (and, eventually, double-platinum sales), following up with her commercial breakthrough Colour Moving and Still. That album also registered double-platinum sales, and, to celebrate its 25th anniversary, it was given a deluxe edition re-release last October, accompanied by a major fall tour across Canada.

She has released eight other albums, including a live album, a holiday album and a collaboration with her husband and Our Lady Peace frontman Raine Maida.

Since her initial solo music, she's also become a go-to songwriter for many major artists from Avril Lavigne to Drake to Kendrick Lamar.

In the course of her career, she has won three Juno Awards and successfully taken on the roles of actor, movie producer and humanitarian. In 2014, Kreviazuk and Maida were awarded the Order of Canada for their efforts to raise awareness and support for human and animal rights, mental health, education and the environment. That same year, the power couple also earned the Allan Waters Humanitarian Award. Kreviazuk has been an ambassador to War Child for more than two decades and one of the organization’s founding artists.

Kreviazuk is currently working on her 10th studio album, slated for release in 2025.
