Cooking Vinyl Publishing signs joint venture deal with Sound Collective

31 January 2019 - Press release

Cooking Vinyl Publishing is delighted to announce it has entered into an agreement with London-based management company Sound Collective to create the new venture, Sound Collective Publishing.

Founded by Will Blake just over two years ago, Sound Collective has built a formidable reputation as a creative and highly pro-active company and currently manages over 15 prominent songwriters and producers including Sky Adams (Zak Abel, Kylie Minogue, HRVY, Sigma, Sigala) and Danny Shah (David Guetta, The Vamps, Sigma, HRVY).

Says Sound Collective’s Will Blake, “We are incredibly proud of what’s been achieved in the past two years. We started small with one client and through hard work and graft we have built a great roster of super-talented individuals who work across a large section of the UK, US and European artist projects. We have enjoyed great support from managers, labels and publishers and try and deliver great records consistently across our teams. We try to make the process of cutting & making records enjoyable and build relationships that last. It’s super-exciting for us to move into publishing partnered with Cooking Vinyl Publishing and we hope to sign and help develop more talented writers, producers and artists.”

Cooking Vinyl Publishing Managing Director Ryan Farley added, “When I joined Cooking Vinyl in summer 2018 it soon became clear to me the need to build our roster and develop our catalogue of contemporary pop music. Aligned to our focus on developing songwriting talent, Sound Collective has firmly established itself as a ‘go-to’ team for UK and international A&Rs looking for great songs for their projects, so this partnership was an obvious move for us. I’m delighted to be working with Will and his team on what is sure to be an exciting new chapter for both businesses.”
