HAVING THEIR "CAKE" AND
PUBLISHING IT TOO

Joe Jonas of DNCE celebrates inking a publishing deal with Jody Gerson’s UMPG with this festive photo op, after which manager Phil McIntyre brainstormed a “Cake by the Ocean” tie-in with a nearby bakery. Seen getting their groove on, in a trade-press sort of way, are (l-r) Gerson, Jonas, UMPG’s David Gray and McIntyre.

The million-selling "Cake by the Ocean" is currently surfing toward the top of the Mediabase Top 40 chart. And it's performing like gangbusters in Blighty as well.

Gerson praised Jonas’ “creativity, hard work and passion,” while Jonas called the pubco “an essential part of breaking the band.” Mcintyre expressed his gratitude that the publisher “is coming on board to be our global partner in this next phase of Joe’s career.”

Later, a rave ensued in the conference room.
