KO-SIGN PTY LTD is a South African private company (the “Pty Ltd” suffix denotes a proprietary limited company) named as the sole phonographic rights holder on the recorded output of amapiano artist Uncle Waffles (Lungelihle Zwane) since March 2023, per Apple’s own catalogue metadata. It grants Los Angeles label Encore Recordings exclusive worldwide distribution rights to that catalogue.

No company registry filing, interview or press statement located by this desk names KO-SIGN’s shareholders or confirms it is Uncle Waffles’ own loan-out company, though that structure is standard for comparable African artist-imprint arrangements. It should not be confused with Kreativekornerr, the management and booking company credited on her earlier 2022 releases.

Ownership: not established from the sources checked.
