Independent music publishing and rights management company AMR Songs has launched a new Christian music division, acquiring the rights to hundreds of songs by top artists and songwriters in the space, including artists like Phil Wickham, Christy Nockels and Nathan Nockels, rock band Sanctus Real, and hip-hop songwriter Kevin “KB” Burgess.
“We are so pleased to announce AMR Songs has launched a new Christian division and acquired interests in songs by some of the most talented and celebrated artists and writers in contemporary Christian music,” says industry veteran Tamara Conniff (pictured), AMR co-founder and CEO.
“It is a complete honor to have been entrusted to take care of these works and ensure the songs continue to reach new audiences for decades to come. AMR’s diverse catalog is a powerful collection of perennial hits and Christian music gems that we’re so proud to represent as we expand into the market.”
