Warrick Percy

Warrick Percy is a musician, student, lecturer, consultant and head of the Licensing and Business Development department at the mechanical rights organisation, CAPASSO.

During his time at CAPASSO, he has secured multi-territorial digital licences with many major digital services such as iTunes, Deezer, Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play and RDIO. His work at CAPASSO has proved to be extremely influential with respect to the collection, administration and distribution of digital royalties across the African continent. Warrick’s work has directly contributed to the distribution of over 80 million rand to composers, publishers and affiliated societies respectively, since CAPASSO’s inception in July 2014.

In addition to his position at CAPASSO, he lectures the part-time Music Business Masterclass course at The Academy of Sound Engineering. This is done as part of his innate desire to educate and better equip composers, artists and other industry players. His passion and drive for entertainment, copyright law and business principles appear to be boundless. Warrick is studying part-time towards his LLB, specialising in copyright, trademark and intellectual property. He will use this, accompanied by the skills, knowledge and experience he has, and continues to acquire, to achieve his ultimate goal of placing the African Music Industry in a strong and fruitful position both here and abroad.
