Sony/ATV Music Publishing today announced the expansion of its exclusive songwriter agreement with singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Kevin Parker to cover worldwide representation of his future songs. Parker originally signed with Sony/ATV Australia in 2009, and his formative music project, Tame Impala, is heralded as one of today’s most influential and successful rock bands.
“I’m super excited to be re-signing with Sony/ATV and extending my relationship with them from Australia to worldwide. Damian Trotter has become my good friend and someone I can rely on to take good care of my words and melodies. It’s also an honour to now be working with such a legendary figure in music as Jon Platt,” Kevin Parker stated.
Kevin Parker remains an in-demand producer, collaborating with a slate of A-list artists including Kendrick Lamar, Miguel, A$AP Rocky, The Flaming Lips, Theophilus London and Mick Jagger. He also contributed to chart-topping albums from Kanye West and Travis Scott and has worked with ZHU and Kali Uchis.
Most recently, Tame Impala headlined Coachella in 2019 and released their fourth studio album on February 14 entitled, ‘The Slow Rush’, which has already achieved top ten status on Billboard’s 200 Album Chart. The band also performed two of their newly released singles, ‘Borderline’ and ‘Patience’, on Saturday Night Live.
