Bossy Songs, the music publishing company founded by Barry Weiss, has extended its partnership with Sony Music Publishing (SMP).
According to a press release issued on Tuesday (November 10), under the extension, Bossy Songs will continue to be supported and administered by SMP.
Weiss is also CEO and Co-Founder of RECORDS and RECORDS Nashville, which operate in partnership with Sony Music Entertainment.
Bossy Songs has an office in New York, with staff in Los Angeles and Nashville.
“I’m thrilled to be continuing our work with Sony Music Publishing, who have been incredibly supportive of our development,” said Weiss. “Bossy Songs is proud to support fresh new emerging songwriters such as Austin Corona and Charlie Ziman (who are truly making themselves felt at the moment) and will be searching far and wide for new writers to add to our highly selective boutique roster.”
“Barry and team have a proven track record of identifying and championing exceptional talent at Bossy Songs, they’ve built [an] incredible foundation for future success. We are delighted to continue our partnership.”

Katie Welle, President, Head of US A&R at SMP, added: “Barry and team have a proven track record of identifying and championing exceptional talent at Bossy Songs, they’ve built [an] incredible foundation for future success. We are delighted to continue our partnership.”
Austin Corona, a songwriter, producer, and instrumentalist, is credited as a writer and producer on brand new chanel$, the July single by Slayyyter.
The track gave Slayyyter her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, at No. 98.
Corona was also a primary collaborator on Slayyyter‘s album WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA, released in March, according to Bossy Songs.
Slayyyter releases her music via RECORDS and Columbia Records.
Charlie Ziman, meanwhile, has been a key writer and producer across Malcolm Todd‘s catalog, according to Bossy Songs.
Bossy Songs credits Ziman on Todd’s Earrings, which it says reached No. 1 on Spotify‘s global chart, and on Obsessica, from Todd’s latest album, Do That Again.
“I like to think of Bossy Songs as a valuable adjunct to Sony Music Publishing furthering their A&R net for talented, burgeoning writers below the obvious ones that everybody else is going for.”

“We’re all under one roof with the label (RECORDS) and publishing company (Bossy Songs),” Weiss said, commenting on the extension of the partnership. “As such, there’s lots of cross-pollination between both companies within Sony.
“I like to think of Bossy Songs as a valuable adjunct to Sony Music Publishing furthering their A&R net for talented, burgeoning writers below the obvious ones that everybody else is going for.
“Plus, Jon Platt [SMP Chairman and CEO] and our key contact folks Katie Welle and Georgia Wolf [Senior Manager, A&R] are best in class at their craft. It’s no accident how dominant a force Sony Music Publishing is in the marketplace.”
Other writers and producers on the Bossy Songs roster include Cheyenna, whose credits include Dasha‘s Austin, and Michael Sonier (Noah Cyrus, Maggie Rogers, Ella Henderson).
The roster also includes Cody Tarpley (Megan Thee Stallion, Chris Brown, Maggie Lindemann), IDA (Alan Walker, Sigala, Becky Hill), and Dan Gleyzer (BTS, Meghan Trainor, CIL).
On what he looks for when signing a writer or producer, Weiss said: “Out of the box approach to writing (like [Cheyenna] with Austin by Dasha), state-of-the-art production (like Austin Corona with Slayyyter), and/or a creative closely aligned with a great artist (like Charlie Ziman with Malcolm Todd).”
Weiss launched Bossy Songs in partnership with SMP in December 2023, naming Gleyzer as its first signing.
The company was previously known as TwentySeven Music Publishing.
RECORDS was established in 2015 through a partnership between Weiss and Sony Music Entertainment.
In July, SMP agreed to support and administer Alta Publishing worldwide, the publishing division launched by former Spotify executive Jeremy Erlich‘s Alta Music Group.
Sony‘s global music publishing operation, led by SMP, generated USD $744.8 million in the three months to the end of September 2026, up 3.8% YoY, according to MBW‘s calculations.
SMP is led by Chairman and CEO Jon Platt.Music Business Worldwide
