As an independent music publisher from day one, I represented iconic acts like Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, ABBA, The Beatles, Boney M and major publishers including Screen Gems, Southern Music, MCA across Benelux and France. I had the pleasure to work with creative personalities like Peter Waterman, the Meisel, Stig Anderson and more.

I created international hits as producer and publisher of the RKM label with “Jungle Fever” by Chakachas and “Tonight’s the Night” by SSO. With Lou Deprijck, my long-time creative producer, we made hits such as “Ça Plane pour moi” by Plastic Bertrand and “Disco Samba” by Two Man Sound. With Jean Luch, we created “Magazine 60” with “Don Quichotte” and “Costa Brava.”

My journey began in the 1960s when my father, a respected music mogul, established offices in Paris, London, and New York—an uncommon achievement for a Brussels-based company at the time. After he passed in 1963, I carried forward this international foundation. Learn more about his legacy at: jackklugermusic.com.
