Focusing on supporting songwriters—as well the administration of our roster’s copyrights—Coldwater Music Publishing’s focus is the fulfillment of the writer’s career and creative goals, whatever they may be. Whether a client’s objective is to be a songwriter for other artists or an artist themselves, Coldwater strives to create the most innovative environment possible to nurture these desires.

Launched in connection with worldwide powerhouse Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Coldwater brings a unique perspective to the world of publishing under the direction of star songwriter/producer Linda Perry. Perry’s experience crafting hits across all genres of music with artists such as Weezer, Alicia Keys, Dixie Chicks, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera and Pink, to name but a few. Perry brings an unparalleled frame of reference,relevant to both developing and established artists, as well as a true understanding of both the artistic process and the business of music.

Key to Coldwater’s strengths in working with our Artists and Writers is our ability to tailor the way we develop our plans specifically to the stage of their career. A music career is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor and we embrace this idea by looking at both where you are currently and where you plan to be in the future, to determine the roadmap in order to fit your specific needs with the best possible plan and deal.

Karianne Larson is a singer-songwriter hailing from the mountains of Boulder, Colorado. She currently resides by the ocean in Malibu, California, where she frequently graces crowds with her angel voice at coffeehouses, fundraisers, or around a campfire. You will quickly find yourself singing along with Karianne even if you’ve never heard the tune before. It’s as if you are listening to an old friend from your hometown singing of memories together, or a part of yourself that you could never quite put words to.

Karianne’s dynamic voice allows her to explore dainty melodies and rich, soulful notes. Her music both soothes and energizes with the fabulous coalition of her vocal musings and picking of her Taylor guitar. Karianne’s lyrics invite listeners into the great adventure of life, and all the beauty and mess that it has to offer. Her sound has been inspired by fellow musicians Jillian Edwards, Colbie Caillat, JJ Heller, Taylor Swift and Mindy Smith.

She first graced the music scene in 2011 with her home-produced acoustic album Our Turn. Her next album, Let’s Lose Track of Time debuted in 2012 right before leaving for a year in Argentina. Full of heartbreak, nostalgia and sassiness, this album established Karianne as the spirited songstress that she is. Karianne has also covered several songs, including Gone Gone Gone by Phillip Phillips and If I Lose Myself by OneRepublic.

Karianne finds joy baking treats for strangers, telling it like it is and singing about the love of Jesus. She’s a big fan of short walks on the beach, pranking friends, and sharing meals with loved ones. You can find her at noon in her nightgown, or at sunset with a plate of cookies and a group of great friends, basking in the goodness of moments that live on in her songs.
