MERCK MINES MALIK

Songwriter Ammar Malik, whose hits include Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger,” Clean Bandit’s “Rockabye” and Gym Class Heroes’ “Stereo Hearts,” has sold a catalog of 90 songs to Hipgnosis Songs Fund Ltd.

The catalog also includes “Symphony” by Clean Bandit f/Zara Larsson, Nick Jonas’ “Chains,” B.o.B f/Taylor Swift’s “Both of Us” and Ed Sheeran’s “New Man” as well as songs by Ariana Grande, OneRepublic, One Direction and others.

“Ammar has been one of the most influential songwriters of the last 10 years and songs like ‘Moves Like Jagger’ and ‘Rockabye’ are iconic,” said Merck Mercuriadis, Founder of The Family (Music) Ltd. and Hipgnosis Songs Fund Limited. “‘Moves Like Jagger’ is now almost as famous as Mick Jagger himself.”

Malik was represented by managers David Silberstein and Jeremy Levin and counsel Todd Rubenstein.
