Warner Chappell in the US has announced an alliance with Limited Edition Music, a new music publishing business headed up by former Warner Chappell exec Mark Wilson and current Warner Chappell exec Greg Sowders. Making the Warner Chappell tie-up somewhat predictable.
The two companies say that they will work together to sign and develop emerging songwriters in the alternative, rock, pop and alternative country genres. And why the hell not?
“Greg has been a key fixture at Warner Chappell for more than three decades and has dedicated his career to building out a star-studded alternative and rock roster”, says Warner Chappell CEO Guy Moot. “This is the perfect opportunity for him to continue to lead those efforts while also working with more emerging writers alongside Marc”.
Sowders adds: “I’ve been a part of the Warner Chappell family for over 30 years, and I’m ready to continue this amazing journey by re-uniting with my long-time friend and creative partner Marc Wilson. Limited Edition Music will be a home for emerging artists and writers, within the incredible WCM ecosystem. I can’t imagine a better place to launch Limited Edition Music, while staying fully dedicated to Warner Chappell. Our band just got even better!”
The first signings to Limited Edition Music are Emmyn Calleiro from the band Games We Play and country artist Bailey Callahan.
