Under the leadership of CEO Frank Liwall, this strategic hire marks a significant investment in the company's future as it continues its mission to empower songwriters, producers, and artists worldwide.
Founded in 1994, the Royalty Network has grown to represent over 700,000 compositions, including works from some of the most prolific songwriters and producers across genres, with hits featured on albums by the likes of Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Kendrick Lamar, and Drake. The Royalty Network's music has also appeared in high-profile film, TV, and advertising placements, including blockbuster films like "Black Panther," "Creed 2," and "Bad Boys For Life" and campaigns for Target, Walmart, BMW, Levi's, and Chevrolet.
Frank Liwall, Founder and CEO of the Royalty Network, has built the company on a foundation of innovation, values, and personalized service for all clients. This has been a key component to its success: year after year, the company has expanded its client roster and grown its business by centering integrity and its people-first approach. The Royalty Network's commitment to educating songwriters about the intricacies of music publishing, copyright ownership, and business operations is central to its success, ensuring that clients collect all revenue rightfully earned while avoiding potentially harmful deals.

"I could not be more thrilled to return in this new capacity to the company that, in every professional sense, raised me. The Royalty Network is a unicorn–thriving as a true family-run independent for decades in an industry that has undergone several wholesale metamorphoses," said Daniel Abowd, President & General Counsel of the Royalty Network. "As the industry continues to evolve, I look forward to helping the Royalty Network family support and protect the songwriters and rightsholders who entrust us with their livelihoods."
Abowd brings a wealth and breadth of experience to his new role. A lifelong musician and songwriter with degrees in music, economics, and music business from Cornell University and NYU, Abowd previously worked at the Royalty Network for eight years in several capacities, most recently as Vice President. A practicing attorney, he returns to the company from his most recent role as a litigator at white-shoe law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, following prestigious judicial clerkships in the Southern District of New York and Second Circuit Court of Appeals. His return is a testament to the Royalty Network's strong internal culture, commitment to growth, and long-term vision.
In his role as President & General Counsel, Abowd will work closely with Liwall, continuing the company's ethos as an independent, caring, and culturally-focused company. As a part of his broad leadership responsibilities, Abowd will also provide the company with in-house legal guidance to allow the company to continue to flourish in today's complex and evolving music publishing landscape.
