Three new signings in same week for music publisher
Imagem Music, which was recently confirmed as the world's largest independent music publisher, has announced three important new signings.
Acclaimed writer/producer Guy Sigsworth and two bands, the hugely influential PM Dawn and new Australian rock act Temper Trap, have all inked deals with Imagem Music Publishing in the same week.
Guy Sigsworth is the writer producer best known for his work with Seal, Bjork, Madonna, Imogen Heap, Alanis Morissette and more recently Britney Spears.
Tim Smith, Managing Director of Imagem Music said, "Guy is a fantastic addition to our roster. Writers of his quality and vision are rare and we are delighted that he has chosen Imagem as his next publishing home. Our A&R team will be working closely with him to introduce him to acts and writers that he may not have considered in the past whilst continuing to maintain relationships with the superstars that love working with him".
Guy Sigsworth said, "I'm really excited to be working with Tim and his team at Imagem. They're easily the most happening independent publisher right now. Plus, because of their partnership with Boosey & Hawkes, I now have the same publisher as both Igor Stravinsky and Daft Punk! How cool is that?"
PM Dawn have entered into a long-term administration agreement with Imagem Music, which will see the publisher representing the bands entire catalogue on a worldwide basis.
Tim Smith said, "The PM Dawn catalogue is filled with hits from 'Set Adrift On Memory Bliss' to 'Reality Used To be a Friend Of Mine' and songs recorded by Elton John, Shara Nelson & George Michael. We feel that these songs have been hugely underused in the world of synch and that is in area that we will be really focusing on moving forward. As part of our deal we will also be publishing all new songs written by Prince B and we have some great new material to be working with which I can easily hear being recorded by a number of contemporary pop stars from the UK or USA. We are really looking forward to working these songs."
Temper Trap, who recently signed to former Warner Music Managing Director Korda Marshall's new label Infectious Records, have confirmed a deal that will allow Imagem Music to work closely with Mushroom Music Publishing on a worldwide basis.
Tim Smith said, "Temper Trap are one of the most exciting new bands we have seen or heard in a long time. We are really happy to be working with Korda and his team at Infectious Records and to be partnering with Mushroom Music Publishing globally. The band now has a fantastic team around them and we are confident of great things for them in the future."
Danny Rogers, Manager of Temper Trap said, "We are thrilled to join forces with Imagem. Of all the publishers they were there from the beginning and have showed genuine passion and drive for the band."
