A previously unheard-of singer named Eesha Keeling is a recent signing to Pro Music Rights’ ever-growing roster of artists. So far, internet searches have not brought up any examples of her work apart from on the Pro Music Rights website, which lists twenty songs written for her by the 20-year-old founder and CEO Jake P. Noch. These include such titles as “Broken And Moves”, “Running And Miracle”, “Midnight And Riot” and “Mad For That Thunder”, which should not be confused with “Love For That Thunder”, which Jake penned for another recent Pro Music Rights signing, Bethany Liu.

Mystery artists in the Pro Music Rights catalog.
One would think that as Pro Music Rights are the third biggest performing rights organization in the US, as shown in this pie chart on the Digital Music News website, there would be some evidence, even in the remotest corners of the internet, of the musical output of the majority of the artists in their catalog. If a performing rights organization is making “more money for hard-working rights owners” then surely the artists they look after must be recording and releasing music for Pro Music rights to collect royalties from.
In a recent post it was established that some of the artists in Pro Music Rights’ catalog are aliases of twenty-year-old founder and CEO Jake Noch. There are also a vast number of artists with names which are all surprisingly similar in that they are formed from two words written together as one, usually with one or both being a term of musical theory. For example: PepsilLegato, VlavdrodCoda, MossbergAdagio, MaharSonata and RazaPiano. Some artist names contain a musical term and a row of numbers, such as Chordso11234, Majorman775, Sonatabunny114 and Legatokal999. However, at the time of writing this none of these artists show up in any Google search. Perhaps they are part of some underground scene specific to Naples, Florida where Pro Music Rights is based, although it is strange that none have any presence on the main social media channels.
A lot of the song titles by these artists also share a very similar structure of two seemingly unrelated words. For example Prestissimo has songs called “bloodworm hydrosphere”, “atonality thoroughly”, “metaphysical lowering”, “potato axle” and “remotely knitwear, whilst Fuguemai10921 has songs called “waterproofing borate”, “cuneate misintelligence”, “shoplifting zimbabwe”, “bartonia uncompromisingly” and “conditioning arch”. FrostehFifth have some magnificent-sounding titles including “Arborescent Gratefulness”, “Constipated Birdwitted” and “Prune Continentals”, but until Pro Music Rights add a music streaming facility to their website there is nowhere on the internet to hear any of these songs. Some of these mysterious artists have a lot of songs. For example QuarterRest have 6061, although the majority we’ve checked all seem to have between 31 and 33. There are over 2 millions songs by these strangely-named artists in the Pro Music Rights catalog. Obviously we have not been able to check them all but of the ones we have the titles are always two words.
A lot of these artists’ names are very similar, which could cause confusion to both fans and the artists themselves if they are appearing on the same bill. There is a Moltoiousj23, a Moltoman0511, a Moltoriel11, a Moltosworm, a Moltovans279 and a Moltoxpert. There is an Octavechop96, an Octavera110, an Octavet3r3z1, an Octavethon3 and an Octavexia124. However, at the time of writing this none of these artists show up in any Google search. There’s a Phraseball56, a Phrasech3rry7, Phrasedorw, Phrasego13, Phraseja223 and a Phrasepuff12. However, at the time of writing this none of these mysteriously-named artists show up in any Google search. But there is at least one the does. Phrasemandy. Here is a YouTube playlist we found of 31 tracks by Phrasemandy, and the music is a bit disappointing. To be honest they all sound like repeated loops from a free sample library, but not looped properly to the bar. If Phrasemandy are representative of the majority of Pro Music Rights’ catalog, they cannot be getting much in the way of radio play. So although Pro Music Rights claim to have a 7.4% share of the market it doesn’t look as if they are in the same market as the other PROs.
What would you expect from a song called “Taki, Taki”?
“Taki, Taki” by DJ Snake featuring Selena Gomez, Ozuna & Cardi B was released on September 28th 2018.
“Taki, Taki” by Jake Noch was released just a few weeks later on October 21st 2018.
We asked the public what they would expect from a song called “Taki, Taki” and the almost unanimous response was that they would presume the words “taki, taki” would appear at regular intervals. DJ Snake’s song doesn’t disappoint with the at least fifteen repetitions of the phrase in the 3 minute 33 second single version. Curiously Jake Noch has chosen to use a familiar song from the Alexandra Vocal Sessions sample pack by Production Master, which can be heard at the 2:30 mark in this SoundCloud preview.
Unless we are mistaken, this does not feature the phrase “taki, taki” even once. In fact the most repeated words are “our flame” which is probably the reason why these tracks which also use the same Alexandra vocal as Jake Noch’s “Taki, Taki” are all titled “Our Flame”.

Global Music Rights or Pro Music Rights. Which one is really “Licensing Your Favorite Music”?
Rival performance rights organizations Pro Music Rights and Global Music Rights both use the tagline “Licensing Your Favorite Music” as can be seen below in screengrabs of the respective companies on Google and Bing. Which one is really entitled to make that claim?
Pro Music Rights are the third biggest PRO in the US, according to this pie chart on the Digital Music News website, which shows Global Music Rights to be the smallest. Pro Music Rights are so busy making “more money for hard-working rights owners” that they haven’t had time to build a proper website and are making-do with what looks like a free WordPress template. In marked contrast Global Music Rights have a very slick site that is very clear about who they are and what they do.
But ignoring the cosmetics of website design, let’s have a look at the two organizations catalogs and see who better reflects today’s favorite music. Global Music Rights have a lot of artists from the older generation such as Pete Townsend and Bruce Springsteen, names that might not be immediately recognized by today’s teenage audience, who would probably be familiar with the TV and movie themes of other GMR clients such as Walter Murphy without knowing the names of the writers behind them.
Pro Music Rights’ most prolific artist is $O$A IFBG with 181 tracks. Apparantly $O$A IFBG is an alias of Jake Noch, the founder and CEO of Pro Music Rights. In fact a lot of other Pro Music Rights artists such as Brick God Sosa and just plain Sosa are also aliases of Jake Noch. Damu Brazy is another Pro Music Rights artist who turns out to be an alias of CEO and founder Jake Noch. Then there are the tracks that Jake Noch released under his own name back in October last year which no longer appear on Spotify, and the same song titles but performed by another popular Jake Noch alias, Pineapple Music who also seems to have vanished from Spotify.
It looks as if Pro Music Rights only license your favorite music if your favorite artist is founder and CEO Jake P. Noch. Meanwhile Global Music Rights can confidently make this claim having the likes of Bruno Mars, Drake and Pharrell Williams in their catalog.
Paul Ring, President of Pro Music Rights.
It has been almost one year since the launch of Pro Music Rights which became the third biggest PRO in the USA in just a few weeks, with an impressive pie chart on the Digital Music News website to prove it. Pro Music Right’s introductory press release included the information that GRAMMY-winning engineer and producer Paul Ring was the company President. This bore remarkable similarities to a press release from Heritage Music Group from a month earlier about hiring Paul Ring as their President of Business Operations.
Despite being the third biggest PRO in the USA, Pro Music Rights do not appear to have done much in their first year apart from writing a few press releases and paying for their logo to appear for a few seconds on the Big Sign Message screen on the Reuters Building in Times Square. They haven’t even got a proper website yet as the current one gives no information as to what the organization actually does. In contrast, Heritage Music Group have a beautifully designed site and are clearly keeping Paul Ring busy until his presidential duties at Pro Music Rights are finally required.
Livio Harris, Senior Vice President of Global Operations for Pro Music Rights.
Livio Harris, Senior Vice President of Global Operations for Pro Music Rights, the third biggest PRO in the United States, fails to mention the organization in this recent Instagram post, despite listing the biggest two, ASCAP and BMI, and SESAC who are way smaller.

He has also been so busy with his Senior Vice President of Global Operations duties that he hasn’t had time to update his LinkedIn profile to add this important role.
There is no information anywhere who the Senior President of Global Operations at Pro Music Rights is.
