One of the most influential legal voices in the global entertainment industry has officially joined Songpact, aligning with the platform’s mission to revolutionize how artists understand, negotiate, and manage music contracts.
Priyanka Khimani has long stood as one of the most powerful and respected figures in India’s entertainment law landscape. With a career marked by groundbreaking contributions, she has represented some of the country’s biggest and most influential entertainment acts. Her deep understanding of the evolving legal needs of artists, creators, and businesses has earned her a reputation as a trusted advisor across the music, film, and television industries.
Beyond her legal practice, Priyanka has also been a vocal advocate for women in entertainment. Through initiatives like Women of Music India (WoMI), she has actively worked to create space, visibility, and support for female artists, helping shape a more inclusive and representative creative ecosystem. Her efforts have empowered countless women to step into the spotlight with confidence and clarity about their rights and opportunities.
Now, as she takes another significant leap in her journey, Priyanka joins Songpact as co-founder and strategic advisor. In this new role, she will lead the platform’s global expansion strategy and oversee key partnerships aimed at making contract negotiations simpler, smarter, and more equitable for artists worldwide.
A formidable force in entertainment law, Priyanka brings with her not only legal expertise but a deep commitment to advancing artists’ rights and building future-ready frameworks for creative professionals. Her appointment underscores Songpact’s mission to lead a new era of transparency, accessibility, and fairness in the way music deals are structured around the world.
At Songpact, Khimani will drive the platform’s expansion into new markets while fine-tuning it to meet the local needs of creators worldwide. With the music industry evolving faster than ever, this strategic addition underscores Songpact’s commitment to staying ahead of the curve – offering creators and businesses agile and future-ready contract solutions.
“This is not just about creating a digital platform for contracts,” Priyanka Khimani reflects on her new role and what it means for the future. “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.”
Khimani’s efforts have earned global recognition, including spots on Billboard’s 2025 Top Music Lawyers list and the 2023 Billboard Women in Music list. Her decision to join Songpact as co-founder and strategic advisor stems from a fundamental belief: the music industry’s contract ecosystem is broken. While streaming, AI, and decentralized platforms have revolutionized how music is made and monetized, many creators, especially independent and emerging talent, still grapple with opaque, predatory, or inflexible agreements.
“The world of music contracts hasn’t kept pace with the rest of the industry – it’s still stuck in a bygone era,” said Nick Weaser, Songpact’s CEO and co-founder. “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.”
Songpact emerged in January 2025 as a game-changing solution for the music industry contracting, introducing a streamlined digital platform that transforms how creative professionals handle agreements. The innovative system empowers artists, producers, and rights holders to quickly create, discuss, and execute legally binding contracts through an intuitive interface.
By replacing outdated paper-based processes with smart, automated workflows, Songpact delivers unprecedented efficiency while maintaining professional standards, allowing music creators to focus on their art rather than administrative hurdles. The platform’s collaborative features enable all parties to work together seamlessly in real time, marking a significant leap forward in how the business of music gets done in the digital age.
