Today we are delighted to announce the news that we have entered into a joint venture agreement with Cosmos Songs.
Cosmos Songs is the music publishing arm of the all encompassing music company and studio complex Cosmos in Stockholm, which is owned by music entrepreneurs Fredrik Ekander and Kent Gillström. The latter is a renowned producer and studio designer in Sweden and the former previously Vice President of A&R for Sony Music Publishing Europe based in London.
Cosmos Songs is today one of the fastest growing, independent music publishing companies in Scandinavia. In the years of 2004-2005, the company saw a 290% increase in NPS (net publisher share). With chart hits and million selling titles in countries like Japan, Korea, China, Mexico and Brazil, Cosmos Songs is now focused on creating similar success around Europe, the UK and the US. The deal with Bonnier Music Publishing and its Managing Director Lars Wiggman is the first step in this direction.
Lars (MD) says:–
At the end of the nineties, when I first heard about everything that went on at Cosmos, I wanted to be part of it. Kent, and his then partner Kaj Erixon, were responsible for many cool productions with great, new and exciting Swedish artists. Ironically, at that time, Fredrik Ekander (who was then Managing Director for Sony ATV Scandinavia) beat me to the deal. Therefore it now feels even more fantastic to get a second chance and at the same time get the opportunity to work with an old friend and colleague again. I have great expectations that Cosmos’ songs and productions will climb the charts all around the world in the next few years. This is a big and important step in the development of Bonnier Music Publishing and Bonnier Gazell Music.
Charlie (Head Of A&R) says:-
There’s already a new air of enthusiasm and determination in the Cosmos studio building! This is without doubt a stunning facility – which is totally versatile and unrestricted – with first class writers, who are all geared up for hard work and success.
We’re all primed and ready to go!
