UMPG has partnered with independent record label & publishing company NWS Music Group on the deal
Pete Simmons, UMPG’s head of A&R, UK, said: “Zach is an endangered species. Songwriters with taste and execution at his level don’t come around very often, and getting to know him and his process the past few months has been a joy. It’s a pleasure to be on his team alongside his manager, Laura Singer, and our friends at NWS.”
NWS co-founder Ben Bodie added: “Nick [Raphael], Christian [Tattersfield], I, and everyone at NWS are delighted to be working with UMPG on the next chapter of Zach’s already illustrious career. Our combined efforts and enthusiasm will no doubt propel Zach even further into the songwriting stratosphere.”
