Range Media Partners has announced the launch of a new music publishing division. It will be led by Casey Robison, formerly of Big Deal and Hipgnosis.
Confirming the new division, Range Media co-founder Matt Graham says: “Casey and the team believe there is a tremendous opportunity to launch a boutique publishing company inside of the Range ecosystem. The connectivity to our management roster, label, film/TV relationships and music supervisors provide a fertile ground for developing writers and producers".
Robison had stints at Chrysalis Publishing and US collecting society BMI before joining the Big Deal Music Group, which was then acquired by Hipgnosis in 2020. In his new role, he will work alongside a number of existing execs within the music side of Range Media, including Sam Drake, Federico Morris and Jared Cotter.
Graham continues: "[Casey's] experience as a builder at Big Deal and Hipgnosis is essential to getting our strategy and culture honed to ensure maximum opportunity for our talent. We couldn’t be more excited about what we can create together".
While Graham couldn't be more excited, Robison himself is, well, you know, "THRILLED" about his new job. “I’m THRILLED to be joining the creative team at Range", he confirms.
"Since the company’s creation just a few years ago, I’ve admired its spirit, culture and dynamic growth", he goes on. “Range’s curated approach to identifying and fostering talent across genres will serve as a blueprint for how we build the publishing company, which will be dedicated to long-term career growth for both artists and writers".
