The US company has joined forces with local company Trackdown Digital to lock down the local scene
Global, independent music publisher Peermusic has just announced a partnership with Trackdown Digital, merging distribution with Australia's largest music and post-production facility, which also hosts the largest orchestral recording stage across the Southern Hemisphere.
From this month, Peermusic has set up a strategic partnership that will see the Australian music company engage with Trackdown Digital to tackle in-house A&R, sync activities and business-related opportunities across the Australian and New Zealand territories.
This strategic merging will see Geoff Watson appointed as Vice President of A&R and New Projects of Peermusic Australia with Gary Seeger as Creative Director; both men are veterans of music, film and television throughout the Australian market. Vera Lente, who has been with Peermusic for over two decades, will also be promoted to Director of Administration.
"Given the ever-evolving business of music, I am delighted to be working with the entrepreneurial and forward-thinking spirit of Geoff and Gary and their incredible team at Trackdown," Peermusic president and managing director Kathy Spanberger said in a statement.
Added Trackdown's Watson: "I have known Peermusic and Kathy for most of my career, and I am very excited that another new creative business adventure is about to begin! The combination of Peermusic’s extraordinary catalogue and worldwide reach with Trackdown’s unique position in the Australian and global market will be formidable."
