Seventy-eight years after establishing its first copyright, peermusic can proudly claim to be a major and still-independent publisher. Needless to say, that's no small achievement. Then again, it's no surprise, either. From its very beginnings, under the keen vision of legendary founder Ralph S. Peer, peermusic has consistently and relentlessly broken new ground on its way to becoming home to some of the best and brightest talent in music.
What might come as a surprise is that the company modestly established by one man now boasts a 300,000-song-title catalog, not to mention 200+ employees populating 32 offices in 27 countries. In that sense, a lot has changed. To understand just how much has evolved-how a company launched by a yodel came to be represented by more than 20 nominations at the 2002 Latin Grammy Awards-is to know the peermusic story.
