Publishing Briefs: French House Builder Signs With Warner Chappell, Plus DMP Africa Is Born


This week in music publishing news: Warner Chappell signs Bob Sinclar, while Sheer Publishing Africa rebrands as Downtown Music Publishing Africa.

“Bob Sinclar is a fervent representative of the French Touch, a true tastemaker who has always made a point of crossing borders,” said Valentin Zucca, senior A&R at WCM France. A former touring drummer, he’s now a Grammy-nominated engineer and producer who has worked with Carrie Underwood and Sam Hunt, and co-produced a chart-topping comedy album for Bobby Bones and The Raging Idiots … Sheltered Music formed a creative partnership with Crystal Pony Publishing and songwriter Roger Springer(“It’s a Little Too Late”). “I began working with Tino a decade ago, just after his ‘Street Life’ releases, when he was flipping samples, making club bangers and experimenting with his sound,” said SMPUK director of A&R Adrienne Bookbinder.
