Mo’Ju Signs Exclusive Deal With Universal Music Publishing Group

Joining a talent-packed roster, Australian singer-songwriter Mo’Ju has signed an exclusive, global publishing agreement with Universal Music Publishing Group.

The new deal sees the local artist join the likes of Billie Eilish, Adele, Dua Lipa, Kendrick Lamar, Metallica and stacks more.

“I feel very grateful and excited to join the roster at UMPG,” Mo’Ju said.

“It feels really nice to find a home for my songs and to be working with such an incredible team whom I have so much respect for. I feel like this is the kind of place I can really thrive as a songwriter and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together.”

Sarah McMillan, Mo’Ju’s manager from Unified Music Group, added: “I am really excited for Mo’Ju to be joining the UMPG roster.

“It was an easy decision after meeting with the team, and it was clear that not only were they fans of Mo'Ju but they were passionate, proactive and loved their jobs.

“We are feeling really confident and supported in knowing we are going to be working alongside the team at Universal Music to achieve some amazing goals.”

Marianna Annas, Vice President, Commercial & Creative, Universal Music Publishing Australia, said Mo’Ju’s artistry is “profound, unique and fascinating”.

“She has the rare aptitude to traverse musical genres, to draw from her own cultural roots, to blend and mix these up and to create songs which are modern yet timeless.

“All of us at UMPG couldn’t be more excited to be onboard with Mo’Ju and Sarah and taking the next steps forward together.”

After releasing her critically acclaimed third album Native Tongue in 2018, Mo’Ju dropped surprise EP Ghost Town alongside Joelistics in 2019, single Put It On Hold last year and more recently offered up a version of I Feel Love.
