QUINCY RETURNS TO WARNER CHAPPELL

Quincy Jones has struck a global publishing agreement with Warner Chappell Music for the more than 2,000 compositions in his catalog in addition to future works.

The administration deal also includes work by several songwriters under the umbrella of Jones’s company, including the Brothers Johnson and Siedah Garrett.

“A creative genius and a cultural icon, there is no figure in modern music who has accomplished so much across so many generations; who has broken so many musical and social barriers; and whose impact has been so wide-ranging as that of Quincy Jones,” Warner Chappell Music Co-Chair & CEO Guy Moot and Co-Chair & COO Carianne Marshall said. “As a composer, Quincy has embraced and blended nearly every genre to create a unique, incredibly rich and diverse body of work.”

“Quincy started his journey in the publishing business with Warner Chappell and built our incredible catalog during those crucial years, so it seems right that we have returned to where it all began,” said Quincy Jones Music Publishing VP Nancie Stern.
