Harry Cowell has left the publishing and production firm he helped launch back in 2005, Private & Confidential Group, to set up new publishing and production companies for Albert Samuel's Mission Control Group.
The new Mission Control outfits will look to develop new acts, and to provide production and songs for acts represented by both their sister companies (which include management agency ASM Damage and the Mission Control booking agency) and third parties. The first artist to work with the new Mission Control company will be Welsh classical singer Annelies.
Music Week quote Cowell thus: "It is an amazing opportunity to work with Albert and an existing company run by forward thinking people and it gives the acts an amazing set up. I honestly believe there is no UK company that can offer this set up with the level of experience and success that all the Mission Control team can offer artists".
