Peermusic has signed British writer/producer and recording artist Amish Patel, professionally known as ADP, to a worldwide publishing deal.
The deal was signed in collaboration with the Peermusic UK and Peermusic US offices and covers ADP’s select catalogue and future works, which includes collaborations with the likes of Chris Brown, Hanumankind, Tyga, Big Sean and Marshmello.
ADP emerged more than a decade ago as the executive producer behind Krept & Konan’s debut mixtape Young Kingz in 2013, which went Top 10 in the UK.
ADP’s production includes work on Dua Lipa’s Want To and MIA’s album AIM. It also includes two UK Top 10 platinum singles – Krept & Konan’s Freak Of The Week and Yungen’s Bestie featuring Yxng Bane.
Patel also produced Frustrated and If You’re Down on Chris Brown’s album Heartbreak On A Full Moon, as well as Passing Time on the deluxe edition of Breezy which was nominated for Best R&B Album at the Grammys.
ADP has collaborated with Flo Milli, Marshmello, YG, Ava Max, Justine Skye, Rita Ora, Eric Bellinger, Tyga, Fridayy, FLO, Nora Fatehi, Pharrell, Snoop Dogg, Zayn, Charlotte Plank and others.
In 2017, ADP put out his first single as a recording artist, No Good for Me, featuring Jeremih and Ebenezer.
Ralph W Peer, managing director, UK, Australasia and vice president of Peermusic’s African and Middle East operations, said: “Amish’s songs have a magnetic pull. His ability to dip in and out of genres and create songs that become career-defining moments for artists around the world makes him someone that we knew we wanted to be in business with. Signing ADP as a collaborative effort amongst our UK and US offices showcases our unique strength as a global publisher to partner across territories and amplify his incredible talent.”
Harry Knyt, head of A&R UK, said: "Amish has always been at the inception of shifts in pop music. From MIA, to Krept & Konan, to Chris Brown to now spearheading the South Asian emergence – he finds a way to amalgamate genres, styles and culture. He is an incredibly special creative with a lot more to achieve and I have no doubt his energy and drive will ensure he grows into a producer that has a global impact. The future of what we can accomplish together is exciting and limitless.”
Tuff Morgan, vice president of A&R, Peermusic US, said: “Our creative teams are somewhat uniquely situated and empowered to cross-collaborate and do joint signings across offices because Peermusic has that global footprint of 39 offices in 32 countries. It’s hugely important from a creative standpoint to build out a global network of potential collaborators for our writers to connect with, and to build out custom creative strategies with on-the-ground input by creative teams across territories. Amish is the perfect blueprint of why this is so important as his songs break across borders.”
ADP said: “I’m thrilled to join the Peermusic family and to have the support of their global network behind my songs. Ralph, Harry, Tuff and the entire Peermusic team have made quick work of setting the pace for what’s to come. We have some exciting projects in the works that I am excited for the world to hear.”
