Los Angeles, CA, July 31, 2019 – Angry Mob Music Group, an independent music publisher boldly serving songwriters, composers, artists, and creatives, has hired Paula Savastano, a nearly-three-decade veteran of the music business, as Senior Director of Copyright & Royalties. In this role, she will oversee audits, royalty collection and processing, licensing, copyright issues, and all other copyright and royalty duties for the company.

As a classically trained musician, Savastano began her career in Opera Management, but quickly made the switch to the popular music realm. She has worked in the administrative management, intellectual property, and royalty departments for several notable companies, including Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI), Spirit Music Group, RykoMusic, Cherry Lane Music, Musical Heritage Society, and Turn Up the Music. In 2009, she founded SSA Music, which provides licensing, copyright, financial, auditing, and royalty consulting services to a diverse clientele ranging from independent musicians to major music publishers and record companies. In 2012, SSA Music expanded to a full-service publishing entity, providing full administration, royalty collections, catalog pitching, and song placements. In 2018, Savastano returned to her roots as a freelance service provider and worked with several notable clients, including PEN Music Group, Reach Music Group, McJames Music, and Angry Mob.

“Copyright and royalties are the backbone of our songwriters’ livelihoods, and no one understands that better than Paula,” said Marc Caruso, CEO and Co-Founder of Angry Mob. “Over the course of her 25-
plus years in the music industry, she has seen it all, both from the business side and the artist side. And having previously worked with her as a freelancer at Angry Mob, we know there’s no one better to fight for our songwriters’ rights and make sure they are paid fairly for their work.”

“Angry Mob’s focus on the songwriter makes them an ideal fit for me, as I’ve always believed that copyright law should foremost serve the creators,” said Savastano. “I feel right at home with the Angry Mob team and am looking forward to joining them full-time.”
