West Night Publishing

West Night Publishing is an independent music publishing administrator whose chief executive is Seidu Iddrisu. Its own website gives a single contact address, 9 Palm Avenue, East Legon, Accra, Ghana, and describes the business in administrator terms, asking: “Are you a catalogue owner or original publisher searching for an Administrator?” It states a mission to empower African artists, composers, authors and songwriters.

It administers rather than owns. On every document read for this profile the company is described as handling administration, royalty collection and licensing for writers and catalogue owners, and no document read here records West Night acquiring a copyright or a catalogue share. Its own site carries no legal entity suffix, no company registration number and no founding year, and its domain is a South African one while its stated address is in Ghana.

Its founding date is contradicted by its own sources. Trade coverage of its September 2025 signing of the Ghanaian rapper Yaw Tog states the company was “established in 2013”. Its own newsroom index carries an item headed “Seidu Iddrisu launches independent music publishing firm” dated 27 March 2023, and a second, “Well known music publisher, Seidu Iddrisu, embarks on a new journey as an independent copyright administrator”, dated 3 April 2023. This desk could not resolve the two accounts and records both.

Before West Night, Iddrisu spent twelve years at Sheer Publishing Africa, the Downtown-owned African publisher, as senior copyright administrator and client liaison. The company has since taken sub-publishing partners outside Africa: Cleerkut Royalty for the United States and Canada, announced in 2025, and Back2da Future Music for Europe, announced on its newsroom without a date. In November 2025 it was reported to have appointed Ian Otchere as West Africa liaison, A&R and sync manager.
