Still Working Music And BMG Chrysalis US Launch Joint Publishing Venture

Bookmark and Share
Music publishing company Still Working Music and BMG Chrysalis US have announced the formation of a strategic joint venture to discover and nurture new talent and sign established songwriters.

Nashville-based Still Working Music was founded by Barbara Orbison, who was a celebrated music executive and wife of the legendary Roy Orbison. BMG has worked with the Orbison catalog since 2002.

Both companies will combine their creative resources to expand opportunities for songwriters signed to the roster.

The first signing under the deal is veteran songwriter Tommy Lee James. James has been with Still Working Music for almost 20 years, writing six Number One country hits including Reba McEntire and Brooks & Dunn's duet 'If You See Him/If You See Her,' Martina McBride's 'Wrong Again,' and Tim McGraw's 'She's My Kind of Rain.'

He has had numerous cuts with chart-topping artists such as Taylor Swift, Easton Corbin, Christina Aguilera, Lonestar, Gary Allan and Ronnie Dunn.

2012 was a very successful year for James having co-written Pixie Lott's UK Number One hit 'All About Tonight', having four songs on Joe Walsh's new album, Analog Man, and two cuts on One Direction's most recent record, Take Me Home.

Alex Orbison, Co-President of Still Working Music commented: "Words don't cover the true pleasure I have in extending Still Working's long relationship with Tommy Lee James. When my mother founded this company, Tommy was one of her first signings - I couldn't be prouder as her son and new leader of Still Working to announce that Tommy will be my first signing under our landmark new venture with BMG."

"I'm so excited to continue my nineteen year partnership with Still Working Music and at the same time start a new chapter with the great folks at BMG," says Tommy Lee James.

Darrell Franklin, EVP Creative, BMG Chrysalis Nashville commented: "BMG has worked closely with Barbara and Still Working representing Roy Orbison's works for many years. We feel honored by Alex and the family's trust in our work and are looking forward to intensifying our relationship even further."
