West Night Publishing Expands Into North America Through Cleerkut Royalty Partnership
West Night Publishing is proud to announce its expansion into the North American market through a new sub-publishing agreement with Cleerkut Royalty, a respected music rights administration company based in the U.S. and Canada, founded by industry expert Cheryl M. Potts.

Providing accurate royalty collection and copyright protection across the U.S. and Canada.
Opening new sync licensing opportunities through Cleerkut’s extensive local network.
Maximizing revenue potential with improved catalog representation and data-driven royalty solutions.
Following our recent expansion into Europe, this move solidifies West Night Publishing’s global presence and ongoing mission to empower African talent worldwide.
