Zomba Music Publishing has announced it is taking over the Strongsongs Music Publishing catalogue from the Telstar Music Group and founders Anna and Mark Jolley. The deal will give Zomba ownership of music from the likes of Craig David, BBMak, Hearsay, Sash, Metallica, Danni Minogue, Plan B and East 17.
Zomba General Manager Tim Smith told CMU: "Strongsongs is a catalogue that we felt we could add real value to and we are delighted to have completed this acquisition. Anna and Mark, along with The Telstar Music Group, have built a solid publishing company on good foundations over the years and we are determined to do that legacy justice. In addition to the plans we have for the catalogue I am also looking forward to working with former BBMak frontman Christian Burns and his new band Inhaler who are also signed under this deal."
