Concord Music Publishing Extends Agreement with Tomas Costanza

Concord Music Publishing is continuing its long-term partnership with producer and songwriterTomas Costanza. The multi-faceted worldwide publishing agreement extends his existing relationship with Concord to now include the acquisition of his catalog as well as representation of his future works.

 

Costanza’s successful and multi-faceted portfolio includes 12 Billboard #1 albums that he has co-written and produced, scoring credits on CBS, Comedy Central, and Disney, as well as sync placements for several notable brands including Apple, Galaxy, Ford, Google, Amazon, Target, TJ Maxx, and Zillow. He also cowrote and produced theme songs for networks and series including LIVE with Kelly and Mark, Vice TV, TBS’ “Go Big Show” and Max’s “Trixie Motel.” He is the owner of the production house and studio, Killingsworth Recording Company which specializes in artist development, film scoring and sync for advertising, television, trailers, and video games. Costanza is managed by Bret Disend at Ozone Entertainment and represented by Susan Weaving at William Morris Endeavor. 

 

Costanza recently produced and co-wrote the book, music and lyrics for DRAG: The Musical, starring Joey McIntyre, Nick Adams, drag icon Alaska Thunderf*ck as well as RuPaul's Drag Race stars Jujubee, Jackie Cox and Jan Sport, which had its world premiere at The Bourbon Room in Hollywood, California in September 2022. Co-production for the musical was provided by Concord Theatricals, which also released The Studio Recording of the cast album in May of 2022. In addition, Constanza is collaborating on a TV project with Concord Originals, the narrative content creation division for Concord which develops and produces stories anchored by Concord’s artists, music and theatrical works.

 

“I am thrilled to be continuing and expanding my relationship with Concord. They have been an incredible partner throughout the years, allowing me to explore all my creative passions from sync to musical theatre,” says Tomas Costanza. “I am so excited for the future and to share all the projects we are working on together.”

 

Costanza’s continued success is a testament to the harmonious relationship he’s built with Concord over the last decade, where his talent and curiosity was nurtured and developed by the company’s presence across many music industry sectors, including publishing, recorded music, visual media production and theatricals. This has granted Costanza the ability to grow his sync portfolio as well as expand his creative exploration in many different areas. 

 

“Tomas is a sync superstar, creating brilliant music for the stage and screen. It has been such a privilege to watch him grow with us and share his talent with the world in so many ways. We look forward to seeing what’s next,” says Brooke Primont, EVP Global Sync at Concord Music Publishing. “Tomas is such a versatile creative and it’s really exciting collaborating across all divisions of Concord from Publishing to Records and Theatricals.” adds Jeremy Yohai, SVP A&R, Concord Music Publishing.
