Matt Sheeran has signed an exclusive global publishing deal with BMG and BMG Production Music.
The classically-trained composer and songwriter is older brother to pop superstar Ed Sheeran.
His work has appeared in chart hits, film scores and advertisements.
He co-wrote a new version of Ed Sheeran’s UK No.1 Perfect, adding a string orchestration alongside the vocals and lyrics of Andrea Bocelli.
The accompanying music video to their duet titled Perfect Symphony has reached over 150 million views on YouTube.
Most recently, Bocelli and the Sheeran brothers reunited for Amo Soltano Te, a track found on Andrea Bocelli’s newest No.1 album Si.
“I saw three different publishing companies that were all really good, but BMG was really exceptional.”
