By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 7 March 2013
Artist managers Danny Rogers, who represents The Temper Trap and Gotye, and Adam Tudhope, who looks after Mumford & Sons, Keane and Laura Marling, have announced a joint alliance with Kobalt to form a new music publishing company to be called And Publishing.
The ever expansive Kobalt will provide funding to the new business as well as looking after the administration side of any rights signed up by the venture. Rogers and Tudhope will lead on all matters A&R.
Confirming the new business, Rogers told reporters: “I’m into songs, I don’t care if they’re from the coolest bands on the planet, or the most mainstream stars. That’s one of the common bonds Adam and I share. Another is having a varied taste in music; we aren’t pigeonholed into signing just one type of artist”.
Elsewhere in Kobalt news, the music publishing firm announced a deal earlier this week to represent the publishing interests of the Disney Music Group in Australia and New Zealand. Hakuna matata.
