DEALS

Producer Robin Schulz has extended his deal with BMG and launched his own imprint Mentalo Music. “The extension of my publishing agreement puts an exclamation mark behind the satisfaction in terms of our collaboration and the establishment of the Mentalo Edition is a logical next step”, he says.

Warner Chappell has signed Emma Jean Thackray to a worldwide publishing deal. “I’m delighted to sign to Warner Chappell ahead of the release of my first full-length album and as I enter into the next stage of my career”, she says. “I never want to stay in one lane when it comes to my music and the team at Chappell encourage me to take risks and do what I feel is right. I’m looking forward to working together going forward”.

Home fitness company Liteboxer has partnered with Universal Music, with the latter licensing some tunes for the former’s Rhythm Technology equipment. “We all know working out is good for us, but the drudgery of getting on an exercise bike or heading out the door for a run keeps many of us from building healthy habits”, says Liteboxer CMO Scarlet Batchelor. “Our partnership with UMG will offer a generation raised on gaming a fitness option that they actually want to do”.
