JaQuel Knight is a creative director and choreographer who is one of the masterminds behind Beyoncé and  Megan thee Stallion’s  creative endeavors, and recently made history as the first commercial choreographer to  succeed in obtaining a copyright registration for his work  when 

he did so with “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).”  This groundbreaking achievement landed him 

the cover of  Billboard  Magazine  as, in the long history  of dance, nobody had conceptualized 

the notion that a movement could be copyrighted.

In a monumental move to create the same opportunity for the next generation of creatives, JaQuel is launching Knight Choreography & Music Publishing, Inc. KCM Publishing will service 

the same way  a traditional   music publishing company  would,  brokering licensing deals and protecting IP,  but for some of the  most  iconic dances in history.   KCM Publishing will serve as 

the  umbrella  overseeing  the   rights to JaQuel’s   choreography  works,  like Beyoncé's iconic 

“Single Ladies” video  and  the  chart-topping  “WAP,” along with  a  diverse  range of creatives 

and choreographers across all genres and mediums. KCM Publishing will  act as their strategic partners in copyright,  licensing  and beyond as they change the landscape  of protections for choreographers,  creatives,   and  artists in the commercial  music industry. JaQuel will work in partnership  with  lawyer David Hecht,   who  helped  JaQuel  secure  the  copyright for "Single 

Ladies," and his manager, producer Mary Pelloni.
