Power 50 - #33: Linda Bosidis

BACKGROUND CHECK

A temp position at Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) led to full time employment for Linda Bosidis, who remained at the company for six years during which she created the first Melbourne Writer Services Department. In 1996, Bosidis moved to Mushroom Music Publishing (MMP) where she served as Head of A&R until it was announced in October 2018 that long-standing Managing Director Ian James would hand over the reins to her in the new year (2019). 

THE YEAR THAT WAS

Mushroom Music Publishing's roster is too extensive to list here, but the company's 2018 wins include the success of 5 Seconds Of Summer's album Youngblood (the title track scoring #1 on the ARIA End Of Year Singles Chart) and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s People-Vultures featuring in a Fox Footy promo. MMP also made significant inroads internationally, kicking off 2018 by announcing a new partnership with New York-based Atlas Music Publishing to represent their roster in Australia and New Zealand. To cap off the year, MMP also inked a sub-publishing arrangement with the UK's Bucks Music Group, which will see the two companies representing each other's catalogues in their respective home territories.
