EMI Publishing signs Wild Belle
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 16 May 2012
EMI Music Publishing has announced a global songwriting deal with New York based brother-sister duo Wild Belle, who have been building a fanbase on both sides of the Atlantic since self-releasing a track via Bandcamp.
Confirming the new deal, Roger Faxon, overall boss of the EMI Group, told CMU: “As the world’s leading and most creative publisher EMI is the perfect home for Wild Belle and I’m thrilled that Natalie and Elliot [Bergman] have chosen to join us. Our European and North American teams have worked hand-in-hand to bring this agreement to completion and I’ve no doubt that Wild Belle and EMI Music Publishing will have a long and very successful association together”.
The brother half of the duo, Elliot, added: “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of the EMI family. [EMI Music Publishing’s] Guy [Moot], Daniel [Lloyd-Jones] and Jon [Platt] have the best ears, minds and hearts in the music world and we are so happy to have them in our corner. We are looking forward to a long and fruitful collaboration with them!”
