US-based publisher Big Deal Music and BMG have extended their relationship for an additional three years.
Founded in September 2012, Big Deal Music has expanded to run offices in Los Angeles, New York and Nashville.
Under the agreement, BMG will continue to provide global state-of-the-art administration and pro-active exploitation services for the Big Deal catalogue in Germany, UK, Scandinavia, France, Benelux, Spain and Italy.
The deal still provides a framework, when appropriate, for the two companies to sign talent jointly.
Previous JV signings have included songwriting talents John Ryan and Brett Beavers.
“We look forward to continuing our very successful and fulfilling relationship with BMG,” remarked Big Deal’s Kenny MacPherson. “It’s been a great partnership so far, and we look forward to many more successes to come.”
Laurent Hubert, President of Creative & Marketing at BMG, added, “BMG has enjoyed a fruitful relationship with Kenny and the all-star team at Big Deal for the last few years.
“With our unique status as a new model music company with integrated platforms throughout the world, we have provided the roster with expanded opportunities.
“Of course, extending the relationship was a natural next step and we are on track for more accomplishments in the near future.”
