WISE MUSIC AUSTRALIA
continues partnership with
THE A&R DEPARTMENT

.

.

Wise Music Australia, part of the global independent music publishing Wise Music Group, is continuing its worldwide sub-publishing of The A&R Department, a growing catalogue which boasts over 1000 locally written and recorded tracks. The six-year relationship to date has continued to reap rewards for its Australian writers/artists, such as The Montreals, Minimal Miggy, Mantis Empire, MAXO, Asha, Kyle Maher and Em George through successful global synch activity.

The A&R Department is one of Australia’s longest running label services platforms dedicated to supporting emerging local artists. The ongoing partnership with Wise Music provides a platform for the easy-clear, one-stop catalogue to reach audiences across the globe and has seen synch activity for the roster not only within Australian productions such as Mustangs FC and Playing For Keeps but also in territories like Asia (with multiple placements in Netflix Japan’s Terrace House), the UK (MTV’s Teen Mom UK, Better Homes & Gardens and Sky Sports) and as far reaching as Brazil (in variety show Lady Night).

Founded by Matt O’Connor, former head of A&R at Warner Music Australia, the A&R Department is focused on developing local talent by providing support in the areas of publicity, A&R, release strategy, distribution, radio servicing and more, to expand the reach of Australian independent music and artists.

Managing Director of Wise Music Australia, Jane English, says “The A&R Department has a unique and clever business structure that continues to evolve. Since 2015, we have created a close, positive and beneficial partnership, as Matt O’Connor’s team finds the best up-and-coming local creative talent, and Wise Music goes on to administer and promote that catalogue globally, with some terrific results.”

Founder of The A&R Department, Matt O’Connor says “I’m excited to continue our partnership with Embassy and Wise Music, over the years it has proved to be a great way for emerging Australian artists to have access to flexible licensing, professional global networks and synchs with major brands. All of which is of great importance to me and The A&R Department.”
