Mushroom Music Reveals Sub-Publishing Partnership With peermusic

Australia’s Mushroom Music has announced a new sub-publishing partnership with the world’s largest global independent music publishing and neighbouring rights company, peermusic.

With the new partnership, peermusic will represent the Mushroom Music Publishing catalogue across the United States, Canada, and Latin America, excluding Brazil. Marking an exciting new chapter for the local music company, Australian and New Zealand artists will be connected to peermusic’s longstanding reputation for consistently spotlighting independent music.

The deal will find peermusic working with catalogues on Mushroom Music’s roster, belonging to artists such as Kylie Minogue, Amy Shark, Archie Roach, Bliss n Eso, Emily Wurramara, Hunters & Collectors, Yothu Yindi, The Angels, Gordi, Middle Kids, Skyhooks, Mia Wray, Budjerah, Tobiahs, and many others.

In addition to working with the catalogue across Mushroom Music’s roster, peermusic will handle the company’s contemporary and legacy roster across copyright registration, royalty collection, sync, and creative opportunities. Under the new partnership, Mushroom’s international reach and exposure will grow exponentially.

“We both share a deep independent spirit and a passion for supporting songwriters with integrity, care and creativity,” Linda Bosidis, Co-CEO of Mushroom Music, said of the partnership in a statement.

She continued, “Mushroom Music has always been fiercely committed to protecting and elevating our songwriters, so we’re thrilled to partner with a like-minded, family-owned company that understands the value of genuine, hands-on relationships and the importance of investing in songwriters and their music.”

Mary Megan Peer, CEO of peermusic, added, “Linda and her team have built an incredible independent roster, and we’re thrilled to be representing the talented writers and artists of Mushroom Music in the Americas.

“This deal allows us to work with partners we greatly respect by leveraging our local creative, sync and administrative teams for the benefit of Mushroom Music’s roster. We plan to increase opportunities and earnings for their music creators.” 

Mushroom Group launched Mushroom Music last year. Consolidating the strengths of Mushroom Group’s established recording, publishing and neighbouring rights divisions, the new operation delivers “unparalleled support” for artists and songwriters under the Mushroom umbrella.

The company offers artists a “complete suite” of essential, tailored services. Of course, like its parent company, Mushroom Music is 100% independent.

“Mushroom Music is about investing in its artists and songwriters, staying true to its commitment to nurture and empower diverse talent,” Bosidis commented last year. “This initiative is about building on our independent legacy, creating an ecosystem where creativity can blossom, and careers can thrive.”
