Williams launches publishing company
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 15 September 2009
Robbie Williams is launching his own music publishing company, a JV with independent music publisher Notting Hill Music. All of Williams’ future publishing rights, including his songwriting rights in songs on new album ‘Reality Killed The Video Star’, will be owned by the new company, as will any older Williams songs when existing deals with other music publishers come to an end. The new company will be called Farrell Music.
Confirming the new company and it’s relationship with Notting Hill, William’s managers David Enthoven and Tim Clark told CMU: “This is yet another ground-breaking deal by Robbie Williams and it’s what makes working with him so exciting”, while Notting Hill Music chief Andy McQueen added: “Robbie Williams has been and remains one of the defining UK artists of our generation and we are honoured to be helping him with the launch of his new music publishing company. This new agreement utilises our experience and expertise in the music publishing field while giving Robbie complete ownership and control of his songs. We are looking forward to working with Robbie and his management team and feel sure that this new venture will be a big success”.
