Big Deal Music has rebranded as Big Deal Music Group, which will house the existing companies Big Deal Music Publishing, Words & Music Administration and Big Deal Media, a recently developed content division, as well as other related ventures to be announced.
“The past five years have felt like Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride,” said Big Deal Music Group President and co-founder, Kenny MacPherson. “We’ve grown from a small independent publishing company with a handful of clients and a three person staff, to a top 10, self-administered publishing group with global reach. We felt it was time to organize our teams to better serve the needs of our songwriters and artists in this continually evolving music business climate.”
The company has employed some out-of-the-box means of promoting their songwriters, including the podcast And The Writer Is…, which launched in January. The podcast, hosted by songwriter Ross Golan, explores the creative process and challenges that songwriters face. The podcast has been downloaded more than 535,000 times, putting it in the top 5 percent of all podcasts. Guests for the second season of the podcast include Thomas Rhett, Charlie Puth, Dan Wilson, Babyface and Jack Antoff.
With offices in New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, and London, Big Deal Music Group’s roster includes My Morning Jacket, Sleater-Kinney, Dan Wilson, St. Vincent and Ray LaMontagne.
