Rob Thomas sticks with Sony/ATV
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 19 April 2016
Sony/ATV has extended its worldwide publishing deal with Matchbox 20 frontman Rob Thomas. He originally became aligned with the company after it took control of EMI Music Publishing, and apparently he doesn’t feel the need to jump ship now he has the chance. So that’s nice.
“I am so pleased that Rob has agreed to stay with Sony/ATV for the foreseeable future”, says Sony/ATV boss Marty Bandier. “I was fortunate enough to have been running the company when he signed his first publishing deal in 1996 and he and his songs have been part of my life ever since then as well as those of all his fans the world over”.
Thomas adds: “20 years ago I signed to EMI Music Publishing and have so much enjoyed my time with my family there. Now the same family is under the Sony/ATV Music Publishing umbrella and I’m proud to say that I have re-signed with them and I’m looking forward to many more years of working together”.
The musician released his latest solo album, ‘The Great Unknown’, last year. The next single from it, ‘Pieces’, is due out in July.
