Labrinth‘s time at Sony ATV publishing came to and in the March of this year.
Now, after amassing five Top 10 singles in the United Kingdom, the singer/songwriter has replaced the company with its rival BMG.
The lyricist has penned and produced hits for Emeli Sande, Rihanna, The Weeknd and Tinie Tempah.
Said numbers have seen the performer become one of the highest-earning writers in the United Kingdom and, much to the delight of BMG UK VP creative Kate Sweetsur, a BMG-backed entity.
We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Labrinth to BMG. The deal was very much a joint effort with Shani Gonzales in BMG’s LA office. Working internationally across everything we do is really important to us as a company. Labrinth’s track record speaks for itself. He’s firmly established himself as a chart-topping artist, a highly sought after collaborator and one of the most exciting songwriters of his generation. Being able to add him to the BMG roster demonstrates our continued desire and ability to work with the best creative talent in the music industry today.
Must have been seven figures.
Good for him (i guess)? he is so talented…I still jam to beneth your beauty.
What Rihanna song did he write?
