Sony Music Publishing UK has signed singer-songwriter Freya Ridings to an exclusive global publishing agreement.
The creative partnership will cover Ridings’ future works, including her upcoming third studio album, which Ridings is in the process of recording.
Freya Ridings said: “It’s such an honour to be signing with Sony Music Publishing. It’s been a dream of mine since 19 to sign with them as an artist/songwriter, and I’m very excited to share the music we create together!”
London-based Ridings broke through in 2018 when her song Lost Without You became a Top 10 hit, followed by her Top 3 debut album, Top 10 follow-up and a BRIT nomination. She has almost four million monthly listeners on Spotify.
David Ventura, president & co-MD, UK and SVP international, Sony Music Publishing, said: “For almost a decade, I have been trying to work with Freya, simply because her songwriting and voice are hypnotising. After all this time, it is exciting to have the opportunity to finally be in her team. Freya’s songwriting is inspired – she has many things to write about and her work ethic is incredible. New music is around the corner and it's time for Freya’s music to reach new heights.”
Alex Martin, manager, AM Mgmt, said: “Freya is a generational talent. The next stage of Freya’s career is extremely exciting, and we are excited to be working with David, Tim and the whole Sony Music Publishing team on this next chapter. SMP have been long admirers of Freya’s talent and have shown incredible passion, commitment and patience to work with Freya – attributes we really value and respect and were huge aspects in why we decided to work with them.”
Ollie Audouin, Sony Music Publishing UK A&R Manager, added: “Freya is a special songwriter, with an iconic voice. We are very excited to be working with Freya on this next inspired chapter of her career.”
