BMG signs Yusuf Islam
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 24 January 2011
BMG has signed up that Yusuf Islam fella to an exclusive worldwide publishing deal which will see the North American division of the acquisitive music rights company administrate and represent the singer songwriter’s entire songs catalogue past, present and future. The deal includes Islam’s 1970s output as Cat Stevens and his more recent projects too.
Confirming the arrangement, BMG’s North America COO Richard Blackstone told CMU: “To say that we are very excited to work with Yusuf is an understatement. His music has always been an essential part of our musical foundation. He remains a treasured and unique storyteller, reaching us with his inspired melodies. We look forward to supporting him in this next stage of his career as he shares his newest stories with a new generation of artists and music lovers”.
