f Music Week
VICTORY DANCE
Defenders Ent’s Corey Johnson and Sentric Music - who administer Johnson’s publishing company DMMP - are celebrating the delivery of two accolades in both the UK and US. The reason? They provided Drake/OVO Sound with the rights to sample Do You Mind by Crazy Cousinz Ft. Kyla for Drake’s global smash One Dance. Pictured showing off his brand new multi-platinum plaque here is Corey Johnson.

WRITER’S NOTES
PUBLISHED BY: Copyright Control Written For: Paolo Nutini, Jack Savoretti, Dido, George The Poet, Beverley Knight, Pearl And The Puppets, Kevin Simm, Tom Prior and Zach Said.
MAC & (SAY) CHEESE
Warner Music Group recently announced that it has signed a worldwide publishing agreement with songwriting and production duo Matthew Holmes and Phil Leigh, aka Mac & Phil. The pair have composed songs for the likes of The Chainsmokers, Ella Henderson, Emeli Sandé, James Arthur and Naughty Boy. Snapped celebrating their new partnership are (L-R): Chris Phillips (TSPM Law), Mike Smith (managing director, Warner/Chappell Music UK), Phil Leigh, Matthew Holmes, Tom Overbury (senior A&R manager, Warner/Chappell UK), Hannan Malik (TenForty Management).
What was the first song you ever wrote? Either Ambition In Mind or Telephone Love. Both of the standard to be expected of a 13-year-old…
And the last song? A song called Habitually with an artist called Tom Prior who is signed to Island Records.
What is the song you’re proudest of and why? I think Coming Up Easy with Paolo Nutini. It’s a cool track that he took as far as it could go.
