WeLCoMe to the 2012 bPI/MPA/uKtI LoS ANGeLeS SYNC LICeNSING MISSIoN


The share of UK music around the world currently stands at its highest level for many years and this is certainly true in both the USA and Canada. Relatively new UK acts such as Florence & The Machine, Jessie J, Mumford & Sons plus of course the (six!) Grammy award winning Adele have all been part of this - as have perennial Brit sellers such as Coldplay, The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Eric Clapton. Eight years ago, the BPI & UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) started putting together a trade mission for independent UK music companies to come to Los Angeles, to develop what was then a relatively new area for small and medium sized independents; namely Sync Licensing. This partnership has recently been supplemented by the Music Publishers Association (MPA), thereby recognising the vitally important role of the music publisher in the syncing process. Today, our delegate companies come from all parts of the music business and regularly return to the UK with not only a significantly enhanced knowledge of the whole market a degree in sync as one previous delegate put it - but also a whole new address book of contacts and, not infrequently, even a deal or two. Once again, we thank all our delegates, presenters and organisers. The mission runs on the goodwill and generous participation of all these individuals. A special thanks also to Debi Blackgrove of the BPI in London who makes sure that everybody gets to LA on time, has a hotel room to stay in and keeps all the delegates informed along the way. For the delegates themselves, I hope that this mission generates as much success as its predecessors have and we continue to deliver great UK music into the worlds largest and most exciting music and entertainment market Welcome to LA!

MANAGEMENT / RECORD LABEL / TOUR PRODUCTION CATO music is Europes largest tour production company. Set up in 2001 we have an impressive client list of: Muse, Rihanna, Placebo, the Kooks & Amy Macdonald, down to brand new exciting acts emerging in the live scene. Being the first 360 degree business in the live sector, we felt that the only thing that was missing was our own label & management company. In 2011 we created our own record label artisan records to self release 7 vinyl records for the band fiN. The label is looking to sign other acts that have a strong work ethic, both on & off stage. Now also, under the CATO umbrella is legacy management which has three acts fiN, The Roads & DEATH-AT-SEA. Our idea is to sign bands that will sell many more concert tickets than records in this changing climate. We feel we are in a strong place to offer something new to the world of artist management.
