George Clinton, primary architect of the P-Funk movement and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, has inked a deal with SESAC.

“There’s no disputing that George Clinton is one of the most unique musicians of the past four decades. His creative genius has informed multiple generations of music lovers and he has left an indelible mark on the international music scene. We are incredibly proud to welcome Mr. Clinton to our SESAC family,”’ said John Josephson, chairman and CEO, SESAC.

“Me and SESAC are a good match,” Clinton says. “I’ve never been satisfied doing the same ole thing over and over. You need to look for new ways to do things, make the most of a situation or a copyright, in this case. And that’s why I am excited to be a partner with SESAC.  I like that they take charge of this business, making things happen for their songwriters and publishers.”

Clinton has recorded 19 albums since the 1970s, and has had radio singles including “Atomic Dog,” “Last Dance,” “Nubian Nut,” and “Do Fries Go With That Shake.”
