About Us

Co-founded in 2005 by Patrick Curley and Jeff Waye, TSM is a 100% independently owned music publishing company founded on the principal that artists are partners and not commodities. We are an equitable destination for career artists and work with/empower them to creatively maximize the worth of their music. 

TSM has no 3rd party investors dictating our moves, and we are not beholden to anyone except the musicians and their teams that we love to partner with. We’re not here to collect market-share, we’re here to get results. 

TSM has amassed a treasure trove of 70,000 titles in our diverse, eclectic catalog. The roster features high profile and underground artists, songwriters, and composers such as Sky Ferriera, BADBADNOTGOOD, Courtney Barnett, Blonde Redhead, SOFI TUKKER, Pharoah Sanders, Colin Stetson, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Kurt Vile, The Cinematic Orchestra, and many more. Third Side Music is also entrusted with timeless legacy music catalogs, including the works of Clyde Otis Music Group, Studio One/JamRec (Jamaican producer Clement “Coxsone” Dodd), GRAMMY Award-winning composer Galt MacDermot, and more.  View our roster and represented catalogs at thirdsidemusic.com

Soundway Partnership 

In 2021, TSM expanded its international footprint with a new strategic partnership and investment in legendary UK-based Soundway Records and Soundway Publishing.

TSM and Soundway work together on releases and in developing unique creative and synch licensing opportunities, placing music from Soundway’s catalog and roster in major advertising, films and TV series, video games, and other media. The catalogue comprises the vast majority of Soundway Records’ repertoire in addition to other killer young labels, and talented writers and composers.

Soundway Records, which was founded in 2002 by English DJ and collector Miles Cleret, is renowned internationally for its critically-acclaimed rare compilations, and LP re-issues of the most exciting sounds around the globe. From its first release “Ghana Sounds: Afrobeat, Funk & Fusion in ‘70s Ghana,” to its most recent “Ritmo Fantasia: Balearic Spanish Synth-Pop, Boogie and House (1982-1992)” compilation, Soundway has specialized in spotlighting and discovering deep classics from Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Panama, French Caribbean, Colombia, Brazil, Thailand, South Africa, and many other countries. Contemporary artists on the roster include Lord Echo, Mauskovic Dance Band, Felbm, Dexter Story, Carlos Nino, Ondatropica, Meridian Brothers, Julien Dyne, and Flamingo Pier, among others.
