Ultra Music and Ultra International Music Publishing have renewed their professional and creative relationship with Jack and Neil Ormandy’s SILO: Music, the multi-faceted sync agency and songwriter management company. The announcement arrives with the inking of two new songwriters, Aidan Martin and Bettina Bergström.

Ultra Music and SILO: Music have had success with the global publishing careers of numerous songwriters, including SILO’s co-founder and multi-platinum selling songwriter Neil, who penned Alesso’s “Midnight” f/Liam Payne as well as James Arthur’s "Say You Won’t Let Go,” and has written music for movie projects like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

“We are delighted to be renewing our partnership to sign a new wave of talented writers. Ultra’s international outlook fits perfectly with SILO:’s, and writing/recording has been taking place from LA, London, New York, Sydney, Berlin, Stockholm, Amsterdam and other markets to create many placements and record releases,” says Patrick Moxey, President & Founder of Ultra Music and UIMP.

As a part of their latest signings, Martin has been working alongside Neil to curate his repertoire, gearing up to ink a deal with Warner Music, Germany. With 18m+ Spotify streams to date and placements on shows like Love Island, Martin’s cuts include Joss Stone’s “Oceans,” Will Young’s “Ground Running,” Billy Lockett’s “Say I'm Sober” and more.

Bergström has had success in the trailer and promotional space, pulling in syncs on trailers like Janelle Monae’s forthcoming film, Antebellum, and the film Resistance. In addition, she’s completed official remixes for artists including The Weeknd, Norah Jones, Maggie Rogers, Louis The Child and Ruelle for Universal Music.

Ultra & SILO: Music also represent Martin Wave, Chris Avantgarde and David ‘Vud’/’VAAAL' Mårtensson.

Lucas Keller’s Milk & Honey has officially landed in  Amsterdam with the appointment of Edo Van Duijn as Manager and Head of the new location. Dutch-born Duijn recently served as COO of ID&T in 2017 before launching Headliner Entertainment with the company in 2019.

In his new role, Duijn will work with and sign DJ’s, producers and songwriters while bringing his existing clients Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Bruno Martini and Cat Dealers, among others, to the Milk & Honey Management roster. Duijn will also continue serving as Head of Headliner.

“Amsterdam is an important next step in Milk & Honey’s priority of becoming a global music company, and our UK/European clients will be integrated with our American presence in a way that no other management company can offer,” shares Keller.

Duijn adds, “I look forward to being able to further expand the careers of my current clients within the Milk+Honey framework and excited about growing the Amsterdam office over the months ahead with new signings and building our team of managers.”

During his 20-year career, Duijn has launched the careers of DJ Marky, Bruno Martini and Alok, co-produced festivals like Skolbeats, Electric Zoo Sao Paulo and Tomorrowland Brasil and toured headline acts in Brazil and South America.

Milk & Honey has already had a run of success in the Netherlands managing Amsterdam/Rotterdam based client Oliver Heldens and recently opened its first London office back in February. The Amsterdam location becomes their fifth location.
