Independent publishing house The Notting Hill Music Group last week announced it had signed up esteemed R&B songwriter and producer Mike City, who has been behind tracks from a string of stars, including Brandy, Jamie Foxx, Yolanda Adams and Usher. The exclusive worldwide deal will see Notting Hill representing and working City's entire songwriting catalogue. The new publishing deal follows the launch of City's own imprint label via Universal through which he will release his own music, as well as working with new artists, like his first signing Carl Thomas.
On the new publishing deal, Notting Hill Music president Peter Chalcraft told CMU: "This is a huge coup for us, we are delighted to have finally inked the deal. Mike is a consistently successful, world class Songwriter/Producer/Artist and to attract someone of his calibre is a fantastic endorsement of The Notting Hill Music Group and illustrates further our ambition to become a major player in the global music publishing industry."
