Range Music Publishing has signed a global administration deal with Universal Music Publishing Group.
Range Music Publishing is a division of Range Media Partners, which has interests in music, film, television, production, comedy and sport. It has offices in Los Angeles, New York and Nashville.
The new publishing agreement expands on Range Media Partners’ existing relationships with Universal Music Group’s Capitol Music Group and Virgin Music Group.
Range Music Publishing’s new deal with UMPG follows publishing client Sean Cook scoring his 10th straight week at No.1 on the US Hot 100 with Shaboozey’s A Bar Song (Tipsy).

Range Publishing’s roster includes Cook, Warburton, Luke Grimes, Dylan Gossett, Grant Averill, Tyler Dopps, Two Fresh, Luke Niccoli, Simon Oscroft and Rudey, the latter six of whom will be included in this new deal.

We couldn’t be more proud to call UMPG our partners.”

The collaboration ensures greater creative support and administration for our writers, producers and artists. Together, we are committed to connecting the dots across our myriad of talent as well as the varying facets of our film, tv, sports and gaming relationships.”
Jennifer Knoepfle, UMPG EVP and co-head of A&R, said: “In the short time Range has focused on publishing, they have already made a strong impact in the marketplace. Casey, Sam, Matt and team have a great ethos and vision and we are happy to be their admin partner on current and future endeavours.”
