Jake Gosling, a songwriter with Ed Sheeran and One Direction, is among a number of artists assigning his neighbouring rights to Sony/ATV Music Publishing.
Queen producer Roy Thomas Baker and DJs, producers and hit artists Philip George, Adam Beyer and Andy C have also been newly signed by the UK-based operation.
They join the likes of Clean Bandit and Chic’s Nile Rodgers on the roster.
Guy Moot, Sony/ATV UK managing director and president of European Creative said: ‘These are fantastic additions to an incredible roster of clients that we have built up in a very short space of time.
‘Rather than playing a numbers game, we are taking a very different approach to neighbouring rights, which to us is about providing a bespoke, highly personal service in which we work with a handpicked group of the very best artists and plug into our creative, business and administrative skills as the world’s leading music publishing company.’
The division is run by George Powell, one of the industry’s leading neighbouring rights experts. He previously managed this area at UK-based music licensing and rights organisation PPL. He joined Sony/ATV in 2013 as head of the division.
Neighbouring rights are rights related to the sound recording of a musical work and are due to the featured artists and musicians whenever there is a commercial exploitation, such as through radio or TV airplay.
