Warner Music Group

Hello, Warner Chappell Music India! 🇮🇳🤝 Warner Chappell Music is deepening its commitment to India by moving from a sub-publishing model to direct operations – bringing our global infrastructure closer to Indian songwriters. This shift means faster decisions, localized expertise, and direct access to our global network, in a more unified setup with Jay Mehta overseeing both recorded music and publishing for Warner Music India. For the first time, Indian songwriters and catalog partners will also have full access to our proprietary tools and systems, including Global Match (AI-driven royalty matching), the Client Portal for real-time earnings and catalog insights, and Pulse, our client app built with songwriters. Together, these bring greater transparency, accuracy, and visibility to the market. WCM India is more than a local office, it’s a direct link to our global roster, unlocking international collaborations and supported by a dedicated studio space for creators. Stronger copyright management and localized digital licensing will also enable faster payouts, more efficient campaigns, and best-in-class reporting. Extending beyond Mumbai into South Asia, this unified structure connects a fast-growing region to WCM’s global rights management scale, closing the gap between local brilliance and global opportunity. 👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/epnwfAxf #WarnerChappellMusic #WCM #WarnerChappellMusicIndia #WarnerMusicIndia

🚨 Billboard Exclusive: Inside Warner Chappell Music’s Fresco Sounds Camp: ‘We Want to Make the Biggest Impact We Can’ Billboard spent the day at our weeklong Fresco Sounds songwriting camp in Miami. Last fall, Mike Bahía earned his first No. 1 on the Billboard Latin Airplay and Billboard Latin Pop Airplay charts with “Difícile,” his collaboration with Venesti - the first chart-topper created at our Fresco Sounds songwriting camp. One year later, Bahía returned to the camp in Miami. “Exactly one year ago today I had that session in this very studio. It gave me a lovely sense of déjà vu,” he shared. “It’s a place where I can be myself… I’m Mike, who loves making music all day long.” Now celebrating its fifth anniversary, Fresco Sounds brings together more than 150 creators from around the world. As Lazaro Hernandez (SVP, A&R, U.S. Latin & Latin America, WCM) explains, “One of the big tasks we have is to always put our songwriters out there and get them to connect and network.” Every year, the weeklong songwriting camp partners with a different Warner Chappell Music office to make the experience amongst songwriters, artists and producers more international, and this year’s camp also included collaborations with Warner Chappell Music Asia, merging multiple genres, such as K-Pop. This year's camp also partnered with Meta, to support the more than 150 songwriters with resources. In addition to closely collaborating with our sister label, Warner Music LatAm. 👉 Read the full exclusive here: https://lnkd.in/gJ2it4kQ #WarnerChappellMusic #FrescoSounds
