Sydney's Gordi Shakes Hands With Mushroom Music Publishing

Go Gordi!

More Gordi Gordi

Young Sydney folktronica act Gordi has revealed she'll be penning a publishing deal with Mushroom Music Publishing, expanding the 22-year-old's horizons with representation outside Australia and New Zealand with BMG Chrysalis, too. 

Joining Mushroom Publishing's ranks along with Chet Faker and Vance Joy, Gordi said of the signing, "When I told someone recently that I was signing to Mushroom Publishing, they told me it was the best decision I would make in my career.

"After meeting the whole team and getting to know Linda and Erol, I have every confidence that Mushroom Publishing is the place for me. I know how much they value the creativity and individuality of their artists and I couldn’t be more excited to have their support."

The signing comes hot off the heels of Gordi, real name Sophia Payten, releasing the single Can We Work It Out just last month; she'll also be heading to Brisbane for the annual BIGSOUND 2015 music conference.

Mushroom Publishing's Head of A&R Linda Bosidis, says, "Her natural humour, tenderness and ease with the audience is striking. Her songs express personal experience, they radiate a familiarity and form a swift knowing bond with the listener. We are thrilled to the core to be working with Gordi, bring it on!"
