Founded in 1960 by legendary producer, arranger and orchestrator Milton Okun, we are now one of the world's leading independent music publishers. Headquartered in New York City with a staff of 70, we have established wholly-owned companies in England, France, Holland and Canada. We are the largest of three distinct divisions of the Cherry Lane Music Group. For more information on our Print or Cherry Lane Music Foundation divisions, please visit their websites.
We built our reputation, and an impressive list of credits, through careful cultivation of relationships within the music, film, television and entertainment communities. As an administrator, we have a record of unsurpassed meticulousness and diligence in the collection of income and protection of our clients' copyrights. We also work proactively to exploit our properties through our associations with producers, directors, music supervisors, record companies, commercial production companies and trailer houses. On many of our clients' film projects, we often act in a consultancy role, offering input and guidance on source music placement as well as initiating collaborations between songwriters/composers and clients.
Film and television credits include Icon Productions' The Passion of the Christ, the DreamWorks films Shrek, Shrek 2, and Shrek 3, Collateral, American Beauty, Shark Tale, and Gladiator; 4Kids TV, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ultraman, Ultimate Muscle, Kirby and Fighting Foodons series, WWE's SmackDown!, as well as hundreds of feature films, documentaries and television programs.
