Manners McDade have announced the addition of Hamburg-born composer Martyn Heyne to their roster.

Composer and guitarist Martyn is a touring member of Efterklang while his solo show recently supported Nils Frahm and A Winged Victory For The Sullen on tour.

He began his musical career at the Conservatory of Amsterdam before graduating, moving to Berlin and setting up Lichte Studio in 2009. Since then Martyn has been involved with some releases in the contemporary classical and alternative genres, including Peter Broderick’s These Walls Of Mine, The National’s Trouble Will Find Me, Efterklang’s Piramida and Nils Frahm’s seminal 2013 album Spaces.

Martyn said: ‘The fine and experienced team of Manners McDade Music Publishing offers both the attention and the background necessary to really know the catalogue they are representing. This, as well as their passion for the artistic side of music, makes me thrilled to be working with them.’

Catherine Manners, director of Manners McDade added: ‘Martyn is an exciting musician and writer. We are absolutely delighted to be working with him on the next stage of his career.’
