Meet the Dynamic Duo Revolutionizing Music Publishing: A Third Side Music Tale

Can you believe that a small music start-up from Montreal in 2005 has turned into a global powerhouse that's shaking up the music industry? Meet Third Side Music (TSM) and its savvy co-founders, Jeff Waye and Patrick Curley. These two trailblazers have built an independent music empire—all without ever taking a dime of outside capital! Their secret? A killer sync division, total independence, and a passion for music, not market share.

TSM is on fire and bringing independent music to the main stage. Boasting over a 75,000-title catalog, TSM features talents like SOFI TUKKER, Sky Ferreira, and Courtney Barnett, as well as legendary catalogs from The Clyde Otis Music Group and Studio One. The dynamic sync team is landing TSM's music in hit shows like 'The Bear' and fashion giants like Apple and Dior. Their success recently skyrocketed when Wolf Parade's track scored a spot in a TV show, doubling its Spotify streams in no time!

Jeff Waye started his journey in record distribution and retail, while Patrick Curley, hailing from the indie rock scene, made waves as an entertainment lawyer. Their combined expertise is the winning formula for TSM's unstoppable growth—averaging 15-20% every year and smashing revenue goals with more than $25 million annually in 2025.

In a world that's all about the mergers, TSM stands proud as a fiercely independent player. "We won't sell out and compromise our artists," declares Waye. Their energetic approach focuses on collaborations and innovative deals that keep the artists at the forefront.

As the music industry evolves, Jeff Waye and Patrick Curley are standing strong, reshaping independent publishing with groundbreaking strategies and heartfelt dedication. Catch their two-decade journey as they share insights and the secret sauce behind TSM's success, cementing their legacy in music history!
