Carnival World Music Group, founded by Wyclef  Jean and Madeline Nelson, provides creative artists with the music publishing and distribution resources they need to promote their music and earn royalties, as the global market for digital streaming expands. “The demand for music from Africa and other developing regions is growing, and these professional creatives deserve to be a part of the international music marketplace,” said Wyclef. “There is a need for them to have open access to global publishing and distribution options that protect their rights and ensure they’re fairly paid. This initiative not only introduces and launches new talent, but helps creatives around the world thrive in their careers.”
