Mumbai: Songpact, the fast-growing music tech platform reshaping how artists and businesses navigate contracts, has announced the appointment of Priyanka Khimani as Co-Founder and Strategic Advisor. One of the most influential legal voices in the entertainment industry, Khimani will spearhead Songpact’s global expansion and partnership strategy, reinforcing the company’s mission to democratize contract access for creators worldwide.
At Songpact, Khimani will lead efforts to tailor the platform to meet the evolving needs of creators across geographies. Known for her work championing artist rights and equitable frameworks across music, film, and television, she brings her deep expertise and global perspective to a platform aiming to revolutionize digital contracting.
“This is not just about creating a digital platform for contracts,” said Khimani. “It’s about reimagining a smarter, more intuitive business affairs infrastructure for artists, music businesses and rights holders. I’ve always been passionate about offering the music industry support that’s more accessible and intelligent, while also being quick and affordable. That’s exactly what Songpact delivers.”
In her words, “The music industry doesn’t have a talent gap. It has an access and affordability gap. Contracts are the foundation to one of the most valuable asset classes we’re seeing in modern times. For years, I’ve worked one-on-one, navigating the complexities of contracts, rights, and negotiations. But the truth is, access shouldn’t be a privilege. It should be the norm. With Songpact, we have the chance to shift this culture at scale. It’s about building contract management tools that speak the language of creators and create a more democratic, inclusive framework for the entertainment industry. In my role as co-founder, I’m excited to bring my experience to the table, not just for a few, but for the many.”
Khimani’s legal acumen and advocacy work have earned her global recognition, including being named on Billboard’s Top Music Lawyers 2025 and Women in Music 2023. She also serves on the boards of Songtradr and Beatdapp, and leads Women of Music India (WoMI), her non-profit that empowers women in the Indian music ecosystem.
Nick Weaser, CEO and Co-Founder of Songpact, added, “The world of music contracts hasn’t kept pace with the rest of the industry – it’s still stuck in a bygone era. In 2025, we need tools that are as fast, creative, and global as the artists they serve. That’s why we’re thrilled to bring Priyanka on board. She doesn’t just understand the challenges creators face – she’s been at the forefront of solving them, one deal at a time, across borders and genres. Her ability to build trust, drive structural change, and scale solutions for rights holders is unmatched. With Priyanka as co-founder, we’re not just building better tools, we’re building a smarter, more equitable music business.”
Launched in January 2025, Songpact enables creators and collaborators to generate, negotiate, and sign professional-grade contracts in minutes, transforming how deals are done in the fast-evolving global music economy. With Khimani now in a leadership role, Songpact is set to scale its vision of a smarter, fairer, and more artist-centric contract ecosystem.
