A decade of success (check the receipts), and Maktub still moves like it’s day one—fresh, focused, and hungry. No industry blueprint, no recycled playbook. Just a bold, evolving vision of what music publishing can be—for artists, for communities, for the culture.

After a decade of shaping sound behind the scenes, Maktub is stepping into a new era. What started as a boutique music publishing firm based in Holland has grown into something much deeper—a movement, a mindset, and a mission to reimagine how music is created, shared, and protected.

This isn’t about clout. It’s about clarity. And Maktub is more focused than ever.

The next phase? More artists. More mentorship. More community. More international reach. More deals that actually change lives. Not just for the few at the top, but for the full crew behind the scenes—the writers, the composers, the quiet geniuses who deserve to thrive in the spotlight and beyond it.

At the heart of it all is Justin—a visionary with tunnel vision in the best way. For over a decade, he’s moved with precision, stacking wins while staying true to the soul of the work. He doesn’t chase trends. He builds frameworks. And now, he’s laying the foundation for a global publishing house that centers artistry, ownership, and longevity above all else.

Maktub isn’t trying to be the next anything. It’s becoming the first of its kind: a world-class, community-forward publishing ecosystem where ethics, excellence, and evolution coexist. Where artists don’t just sign—they belong. Where the industry doesn’t dictate value—the music does.

With expansion underway, expect to see Maktub making noise in new cities, new languages, and new collaborations—each one a continuation of the same mission: to make sure the music hits, and the people behind it eat.

The future of publishing doesn’t follow a formula. It follows intention. And Maktub is all in.
