Super-indie Shine Group has secured a new agreement with EMI that will see the record company represent music from hit formats such as MasterChef.

EMI will represent the group’s entire library, and will collect performance royalties on behalf of Shine’s production houses based around the world, including Reveille in the US, Metronome Group, Shine Australia, Shine France and Shine Germany.

The deal also includes a joint venture production music library, in which the two will commission and produce soundtracks for both Shine and third party productions.

The partnership between the two companies was brokered by Wayne Davison and Lee Rierson on behalf of the Shine Group companies and Jonathan Channon on behalf of EMI Music Publishing.

Channon, executive vice president of media and business development, said: “Extending our deal with Shine enables us to increase the revenue potential for their music assets from a wider range of programming genres across the world. Shine is an incredibly strong business that continues to grow, and we are delighted to be able to partner with them and offer business support to acquire music assets for their wider group of companies.

“We’re particularly excited about building the Shine production music library, as this will be not only an effective internal resource for them but will also strengthen the EMI production music offering to our existing clients worldwide.”
