UMPG boss Jody Gerson is in a good place. This is not only because her publishing company is performing strongly—revenue grew more than 13% in Q1—or because she’s earning well-deserved laurels like the ICMP Ralph Peer II Award for her “outstanding contribution to global music publishing,” which will be bestowed upon her in London in July; it’s also because, by her own reckoning, she’s in a groove as a leader and enjoying the hell out of her job.

In 2015, she made history, becoming the first female chairman of a global music company and the first woman CEO of a major publisher. Her starry roster includes Elton John, Taylor Swift, Adele, Harry Styles, Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, SZA, The Weeknd, ROSALÍA, Steve Lacy, Billie Eilish and countless other top artists and hit songsmiths. She also spearheaded the company’s acquisitions of the Bob Dylan, Sting and Neil Diamond catalogs, to name but a few.

She has been a tireless champion of women in the industry, having co-founded the nonprofit She Is The Music, and serves on the boards of The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the National Music Publishers Association and the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, among others.

✨NEW SIGNING✨We are excited to announce that Universal Music Publishing Group have signed chart-topping Scottish production duo LF SYSTEM to an exclusive, global publishing deal.

Comprised of Conor Larkman and Sean Finnigan, have made huge waves on the international dance scene. Most recently, their hit song ‘Afraid to Feel’ topped the UK Singles Chart spending eight consecutive weeks at #1. With nearly 183 million Spotify streams and millions of TikTok plays, the song saw them nominated for Song of the Year at the 2023 BRIT Awards.

Dougie Bruce, Senior A&R Director, UMPG said:

“Right from the start of our relationship we had a real connection together and the ambition of LF System and Fergus was clear to see. ‘Afraid to Feel’ was such a monumental hit but the boys were very clear that one song was not going to define them, but the forthcoming years of releases will. We were so delighted they decided to join UMPG and we look forward to a long and lasting friendship.”

LF System said:

"We're so excited to work with the legends at UMPG. The synergy we had with Dougie and Pete from the get-go was so strong and their level of belief & ambition towards us - and where we want to take this project - was unmatched. We can't wait to get going!"
