This is Kick The Flame

Kick The Flame is an independent publisher - big enough to provide a full range of publishing services and yet small enough to guarantee individual counseling. Where other companies scale down services, we rather invest in manpower.

  • For us, Kick The Flame is the only imaginable administration partner when it comes to transparency, reliability, and modern approaches. They have shown us new ways of thinking and acting as a publisher. We couldn’t be more satisfied with the collaboration.

    Tobias Herder – hyper soda

  • KTF have always guided me reliably through the jungle of music publishing, constantly bringing fresh perspectives to how I manage and exploit my music. Especially in complex situations, like particularly tricky international tour schedules, they are right there with attention to detail – meticulously handling those all-important GEMA matters that come with the territory. This way, I can keep focusing on fueling the engine of my label, knowing that the gears of my own edition are running smoothly.

    Martin Kohlstedt - Artist

  • We have been working with Kick The Flame for over 15 years now. A reliable haven, a powerhouse for us and our artists, a partner on equal footing. We couldn’t imagine a better publisher.

    Fabian Schütze - Golden Ticket

  • Germany and Austria are among the most important territories for our catalogue. Our artists are not only frequently on tour but also receive significant radio airplay in these regions – making a strong local presence and professional representation absolutely essential. Time and again, it becomes clear how important it is to have reliable partners who represent our catalogue effectively and work closely with the local collecting societies to ensure that royalties are properly distributed to us and our artists. 
    Kick The Flame has been doing an outstanding job for us for many years and is a truly invaluable partner. 

    Andreas Ryser – Mouthwatering Records (CH) 

  • To me, the transparency, mutual trust and our relationship on an equal footing are the loveliest characteristics of our collaboration. It’s been like this from the very first moment, even when I was still a newcomer and only had a few songs out. Also very special about Kick The Flame: the honest enthusiasm for music and the activism for an independent music environment!
