By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 8 August 2013
Universal Music Publishing has gone and done a deal with the company of film director Ridley Scott, Scott Free London, via which the music major will represent the film man’s music publishing rights, mainly works stemming from his firm’s movie and TV projects. Universal will also advise on composers for future Scott Free ventures, and on other music-related matters.
Says Scott Free London’s Head Of Business And Commercial Affairs Carlo Dusi: “This new partnership enables us to access the invaluable know-how and expertise of Universal Music Publishing’s film and television music team. The company’s roster and catalogue is second to none and we are eager to explore the world of opportunities that this relationship opens up for us”.
While Simon Mortimer of Universal Music Publishing added: “We are really excited and honoured to have entered into this partnership with Ridley Scott and Scott Free London. This is also great news for our songwriters and artists as we will be working closely with them on music strategy and production across all projects”.
