ABOUT US
Lastrada is a family-owned business that has been active in the music publishing business for over 40 years. Lastrada controls copyrights in over 1,000 Pop, R&B, Dance and Hip-Hop songs from the 1950's-2020's. The centerpiece of Lastrada's catalog rests on its collection of masters including the complete works of legendary 80's Funk genius ZAPP & ROGER, iconic 70's Pop artist JIM CROCE, classic 70's R&B artist WILLIAM DeVAUGHN, and 80's freestyle phenomena STEVIE B, as well as masters by DUKE ELLINGTON, JAYA, IKE & TINA TURNER and Canadian Rap sensation MAESTRO FRESH-WES. In addition, Lastrada holds a copyright interest in the Roger Troutman songwriter catalog, including chart-topping hits "California Love", "I Want To Be Your Man", "More Bounce To The Ounce", "Keep Ya Head Up", "Going Back To Cali", "Computer Love" and "Dance Floor", as well as works by Beyonce, Eminem, 2Pac, Roger, Zapp, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ashanti, MoKenStef and Paperboy.
The focus of Lastrada's efforts begins with the premium Lastrada places on the songs in its catalog and Lastrada’s ability to generate interest in the catalogs it administers. Lastrada's songs have appeared in dozens of commercials (Airbnb, Platinum Ice Cream Bars, Papa John's Pizza, Beats by Dre, L'Oreal, Weight Watchers, American Express, Hyundai, Sprit, Chick-Fil-A, Calvin Klein, Chrysler and Pepsi), motion pictures (Love And Monsters, Straight Outta Compton, X-Men: Days Of Futures Past, Django Unchained, The Secret Life Of Pets 2, Venom and Uncle Drew), and television shows (Abbott Elementary, Young Rock, Day Shift, The Last Dance, POSE, South Park, Parks & Recreation, The Deuce, Ballers, All American and Snowfall). Through its combination of standard copyrights, perseverance and above-board dealing, Lastrada has undergone a transformation into one of the most active independent publishers.
In addition to the traditional avenues for song exploitation, Lastrada’s position as the exclusive administrator for 3rd party ‘sampling’ of the BMG Rights Entertainment and Kobalt Music Group publishing catalogs and for a host of independent companies affords Lastrada regular access to advertising agencies, movie companies, television studios, record labels, producers and artists throughout the world to promote Lastrada's songs.
