Cooking Vinyl Publishing Re-Sign Songwriter Matt Attard

29 June 2023 - Press release

Cooking Vinyl Publishing are delighted to announce the re-signing of Cardiff-based songwriter & producer Matt Attard, extending his deal with the indie publisher. 

Originally signed pre-pandemic in late 2019, Matt joined Cooking Vinyl as an experienced live musician and a composer of production music, but a relative novice in the world of commercial pop writing. 

Fast forward three years and Matt is carving out his career as one of the most exciting new names on the UK’s writer-producer scene with a slew of co-write releases with the likes of Gabby Martin, Lydia Ford & Pedar Elias – the latter, signed to Sony Music Norway, giving Matt his first sales plaque by reaching 6x Platinum status in S. Korea with his album ‘Love & Loneliness’ in 2022. He has also been in the studio with the likes of Matt Terry, Arcades (BTS), William Segerdahl, Sarah de Warren & Graham Candy. 

Matt has been developing a sync project with collaborator (and Cooking Vinyl Publishing roster-mate) Robbie Jaycalled Good Daze, with the first releases expected later in 2023, and is also making moves in the world of K-Pop.

Commenting on the deal, Cooking Vinyl Publishing Managing Director & Head of A&R, Ryan Farley, noted “I’m so happy to extend our relationship with Matt. He is the real deal; super talented, musically versatile, hardworking, open minded and a genuinely good guy to have in the room! It was a joy to present him with his first plaque for the Pedar Elias record and I’m sure it will be the first of many. Congratulations to Matt, and I look forward to helping him develop his writing career further over the coming years.”

Matt added, “I’m so grateful to have Ryan and the team at Cooking Vinyl Publishing always supporting me and my musical endeavours. I'm incredibly excited for our continued relationship and I can't wait to keep working and creating into 2023 and beyond!"
