DEALS

šŸ¤
Daniel Johns has signed a new publishing deal with BMG covering his entire songs catalogue. ā€œThere is nothing without a heartbeat that I value more than my songwriting catalogueā€, says Johns. ā€œBringing my lifeā€™s work as a composer to BMG signifies the level of faith I have in this company and their peopleā€.

LIVE BUSINESS

šŸŽ™ļø
Italian music company Artist First has launched a new concerts division, Artist First Live. ā€œWe have launched Artist First Live to work with great artists, domestic and international, who want to perform to Italian audiencesā€, says Artist First CEO Claudio Ferrante. ā€œWe are going to be very selective about who we work with to ensure we can fully focus on their individual needs and to offer a bespoke, transparent, collaborative service. Unlike some of the bigger promoters in Italy who have built their businesses purely on volume we are passionate about music and are approaching things in a much more artist-focused wayā€.
