James Grant Group announces EMI partnership
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 22 June 2012
Talent management and services company the James Grant Group has announced a partnership with EMI Music Publishing that will see the creation of a new production music library to be called the James Grant Music Library.
A network of producers and composers will be put together to create music for the venture, which will cover “music across a range of genres and mirror the most up-to-date record label releases”, and that network will also be available to brand, TV and film clients to work on bespoke compositions. EMI’s Production Music division will administrate the copyrights created by the new venture, as well as promoting works via its production music platform Play.
With existing brand and media partnership divisions, the James Grant Group already provides music production and supervision services to the brand, TV and film sectors, and this is an extension of that work. Says James Grant Music’s A&R Director Richard Northen: “James Grant Music is fast establishing itself as a leading music production provider for the commercial and TV sectors, especially with its work with the independent production community. Being on the EMI Play network will also enable us to reach more producers internationally, helping them with their music needs and introducing them to the James Grant Group’s wider proposition of services”.
Speaking for EMI Publishing, the major’s EVP, Media and Business Development, Jonathan Channon told CMU: “Our businesses will complement each other to deliver mutual benefits and opportunities for our respective client bases. We look forward to a long and productive partnership with them”.
