Sony/ATV Music Publishing UK has renewed its worldwide publishing deal with Ivor Novello-nominated British songwriter, producer and musician Mark Ralph.
Ralph has worked with artists across various genres including Jess Glynne, Years & Years, Jax Jones, Becky Hill, Usher, Tom Walker, Clean Bandit, Georgia and Rudimental, among many others.
Ralph has worked on five UK No.1 singles, from his involvement with Rudimental (These Days), Years & Years (King) and Clean Bandit (Rockabye, Rather Be and Symphony), making him one of the UK’s most successful producers and songwriters today.
Among his many accolades, Ralph was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award in 2016 for PRS Most Performed Work for his work on the single King by Years & Years, and in the same year he won Producer of the Year at the UK A&R Awards in London.
In addition, Rockabye by Clean Bandit was nominated for both Best British Single and British Artist Video of the Year at the 2017 Brit Awards.
“The six years I’ve spent with Sony/ATV thus far has been fruitful and exciting, in equal measure.”
