Former Head of Film & Television at Universal Music Publishing UK, Becca Gatrell, has launched a full-service platform for songwriters that will provide music publishing, sync and music supervision services.
Wow & Flutter will be based in London and aims to work closely with both emerging and established talent, with particular focus on the film and television sectors.
The music publishing division of Wow & Flutter will be a worldwide joint venture with Universal Music Publishing and will ‘focus on signing a diverse range of music from across different genres’.
The JV recently signed three emerging artist/writers: Sean Gadd (founding member of Grouplove), Tommy Ashby and RINNGS, with more signings to be announced in the near future
The music supervision and sync arms of Wow & Flutter will operate as wholly owned, in-house entities.
Gatrell said: “The vision for Wow & Flutter is to establish a broad platform for writers and to draw on our extensive expertise and experience in publishing, film and synchronisation to help develop their careers creatively and commercially.
“We want to look at signing all types of music while establishing ourselves as a home of high quality work and feel we are in a very strong position to nurture great songwriting and composition talent.”
