As a growing music label, the company places an emphasis on digital platforms and subsequent streams, plays, and views. The label’s broad roster of international artists spans a multitude of genres, including pop, dance, R&B, country, and more. The core business is generated by the Asian market, with operations also across Europe and the USA.
The business also curates playlists for numerous high-street retail, leisure, and hospitality chains in the UK and Europe, thereby generating reliable royalty payments and tangible promotion for its catalogue. Recognizing the power of playlists in a music streaming economy, the company owns and curates many highly engaged digital playlists as a promotional tool, generating consistent streaming revenue and exposure.
The publishing division secures songwriting copyrights from a wealth of talented writers, producers, and composers to generate exploitation opportunities for music synchronisations and song placements with third-party recording artists.
