Round Hill Music Makes Billboard Top Ten
Round Hill Music breaks into Billboard Magazine’s Top 10 Publishers for second quarter of 2014
Round Hill Music have been ranked at number 8 in Billboard Magazine’s Top Ten Publishers for the second quarter of 2014. The news comes following an exclusive announcement with iconic label, Wind-Up Records.
“The success of our songwriters American Authors and other writers such as Nashville-based Wade Kirby, are large contributors to Round Hill entering the rankings this quarter. I am very proud of our writers and the entire RHM team for this significant achievement”
– Round Hill Music CEO and Chairman, Josh Gruss
“Entering the top 10 for the first time since 2006, when Billboard began tracking market share of the top 100, is a “very proud” Round Hill, whose eighth-place finish, says chairman/CEOJosh Gruss, primarily is due to the success of American Authors’ “Best Day of My Life,” in which his 4-year-old firm has a publishing stake,” writes Billboard Magazine.
Round Hill Music was founded by Josh Gruss in 2010, in partnership with Richard Rowe and Neil Gillis, as a boutique-sized music publisher offering high-touch administration and creative services to its songwriters. Since then, Round Hill Music has signed exclusive worldwide publishing deals with some of the industry’s most successful songwriters, while also building a stellar catalog of iconic songs.
Round Hill’s exclusive worldwide publishing deals now include an extensive range of talent such as prolific songwriter and producer, Marti Frederiksen (Mick Jagger, Def Leppard, Pink, Aerosmith, Carrie Underwood) and composer Chris Caswell (Daft Punk, Happily Ever After, Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Muppets), singer/songwriter Wade Kirby (Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, George Straight), singer/songwriter Tatu (Eve, DJ Headhunterz), and Brooklyn rock band American Authors.
