DOWNTOWN TAKES NEXT ERA GLOBAL

Amsterdam's independent Next Era Music Publishing will partner with Downtown Music Publishing for representation of the Next Era catalog worldwide for administration and collection, excluding South Korea and China.

"This collaboration not only strengthens our commitment to supporting artists globally but also opens up exciting prospects for the vibrant music scene in the Netherlands,” said Next Era’s Olga Heijns.

Adds Andrew Bergman, CEO of Downtown Music Holdings: “With Downtown Music Publishing already working across the Next Era catalog in North America, we look forward to expanding and continuing our relationship with Olga and the Next Era team on a more global scale.”

Next Era currently represents 45 songwriters and manages more than 7,000 titles. Among its writers are The Track Masters, Nick Vall, Laidback Luke, Young Ellens, TJWave and Merow.
