Ghanaian-American singer-songwriter MOLIY has reached a new milestone in her fast-rising career, signing a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music, the publishing arm of Warner Music Group. The agreement covers her existing catalogue and future works, ensuring her songwriting continues to reach audiences worldwide. Unlike a traditional record deal, this publishing partnership focuses on managing and monetizing her compositions, from licensing opportunities to royalty collection.
MOLIY first made waves in 2020 with her debut EP Wondergirl, which garnered attention across Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya, with standout tracks like “Loud” featuring Kkeda. Her breakthrough moment came the following year with a feature on Amarae’s The Angel You Don’t Know, particularly the viral hit “Sad Girlz Luv Money.” The remix with Kali Uchis skyrocketed into the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Top 40, solidifying her as a global name in the Afrobeats scene.
In 2024, MOLIY reached new heights with “Shake It To The Max (Fly),” a collaboration with producer Silent Addy. The track went viral on TikTok, hitting Number One on both the US and UK Afrobeats Singles Charts and climbing to Number 12 on the UK Official Singles Chart. A wave of remixes followed, featuring stars like Shenseea, Skillibeng, Sean Paul, and Major Lazer, with more big names lined up. The single also earned her a Best Afrobeats nomination at the MTV VMAs, signaling her growing award-season presence.
Her success continued on stage when she became the first Ghanaian artist to perform at the BET Awards in Los Angeles, a historic moment that highlighted Ghana’s expanding influence on the global music scene. Currently, MOLIY is touring across the Caribbean, Europe, and the US while working on new material to build on her explosive momentum.
Through Warner Chappell’s support, MOLIY will gain access to creative writing camps, collaborations, and sync placements in films, commercials, and gaming platforms. This partnership promises to amplify her voice worldwide, further solidifying her reputation as one of Afrobeats’ brightest stars. With her fearless artistry and global ambition, MOLIY’s story is only just beginning.
