Sub Pop Publishing, an extension of the iconic indie label Sub Pop Records, has grown from serving artists on the label to representing an impressive 5,000 songs and 60 acts across various genres. Founded 15 years ago (around 2008), the publisher has developed a strong international perspective, with their roster including diverse acts like Divorce, ARXX, Ben Marc, and veterans like Mudhoney and Screaming Trees. Their writers have contributed to hit songs for major artists including Christine And The Queens, Joey Bada$$, A$AP Rocky, and SZA. Recently joining IMPEL in late 2023, the publisher now has representation across more than 60 digital licenses covering over 140 territories, demonstrating their commitment to global reach and artist support.
