I’m so excited to discover and develop some incredible talent together
Mark Ronson
Pulse Music Group co-CEO Josh Abraham said: “I have known Mark since the early ’90s in the New York club scene and Brandon [Brandon Creed, Good World Management] back since his A&R days. Recently, I was talking to Brandon and we knew the timing was right for this joint venture.
“Mark is an exceptional partner that knows how to cultivate culture-defining moments for songwriters, producers, and artists. He has a lot of integrity, creativity, and is effective in the way that he works to build the careers for others.
“Working together to help launch the next generation of talent, our JV platform provides a creative community that these songwriters/producers will thrive in. We’re thrilled to be in partnership with Zelig and to welcome Becky And The Birds to the Pulse Music Group / Zelig Music family.”
Mark Ronson said: “I’m so in admiration of what Pulse has built. And I’ve been a fan of Josh as a producer since I was a teen. I’m so excited to discover and develop some incredible talent together. Becky And The Birds couldn’t be a better artist/producer example to start with.”
