Concord Music Publishing To Rep Because Editions In U.S.

New Deal

CONCORD MUSIC PUBLISHING has entered into a new sub-publishing deal with PARIS-based independent music company, BECAUSE EDITIONS, where Concord will rep the catalog in the U.S. in addition to the U.K., which they have administered since 2013. BECAUSE EDITIONS is the home to songwriters, catalogs and copyrights such as CHRISTINE & THE QUEENS, DAFT PUNK, MANU CHAO, CALYPSO ROSE, THE LIMIÑANAS, METRONOMY, JUSTICE and the iconic composition “My Way.” 

“BECAUSE have such a varied and eclectic catalogue, we are delighted to extend our remit from the UK to now include the US in what is a very exciting time for both CONCORD and BECAUSE," CONCORD MUSIC PUBLISHING EVP/Worldwide Creative KIM FRANKIEWICZ said. "With our new global infrastructure in place, and our NORTH AMERICA and U.K. creative and marketing teams working hand in hand with BECAUSE’ US synch and A&R teams, we are honored that the BECAUSE folk have entrusted us with their catalogue and look forward to bringing them even more value.”

“EMMANUEL and MICHEL of BECAUSE have built a multi-faceted business that is the perfect counterpart to CONCORD," CONCORD MUSIC PUBLISHING CEO JAKE WISELY said. "They are tastemakers who have curated a truly dynamic international roster and I can’t wait to see what they do next.” 

“CONCORD is a publisher that we, at BECAUSE, trust and respect immensely," BECAUSE EDITIONS Managing Dir. MICHEL DUVAL said. "For a few years now, their U.K. team has done a superb job of representing us in a country where our catalog has become particularly relevant. As we begin to build our U.S. repertoire in a similar way, we believe CONCORD U.S. will provide the perfect support system for our creative ambitions.”
