Patrick Curley is an entertainment lawyer and the president and co-founder of Third Side Music, a 100% independently owned synchronization licensing & copyright administration company based in Los Angeles & Montreal with worldwide reach.
Third Side Music represents over 75,000 titles by a wide variety of artists. We were founded in 2005 and are staffed by a large team of hard-working music industry veterans, musicians, and copyright data obsessives.
Third Side Music is a transparent and equitable destination for career musicians. A company founded on a deep and solid DIY attitude that treats artists as partners and not as commodities. We have no third party equity partners. We are financially beholden to no-one except the musicians/songwriters we love to work with.

As a music publisher he is a member of the Board of Directors of SOCAN and Chair of the Reproduction Committee of SOCAN Reproduction Rights. He is also a member of the Mechanical Licensing Collective’s Unclaimed Royalties Oversight Committee, and sits on the National Music Publisher Association’s Independent Publisher Advisory Committee.
