Warner Chappell Music extends its strategic partnership with management company and publisher Lilly Raye Music.
Warner Chappell Music, the publishing arm of Warner Music Group, has extended its strategic joint venture partnership with Lilly Raye Music, the management company and publisher run by founder Edward Matthew and A&R Manager Justin Martinez.
Established in 2020 and expanded in 2023, the partnership is focused on supporting collaborations between creatives across Asia, Europe, and the US. Lilly Raye Music has continued to gain industry recognition for its growing influence. It was nominated for Publisher of the Year at the MMF Awards Sweden 2024.
The partnership is stepping up activity in Germany and the Netherlands with a sharp focus on the dance and electronic scenes. Further, it’s building its A&R firepower in the UK to support the careers of talent in that market.
Recent successes include: Grammy recognition for their work on Summer Walker’s CLEAR 2: SOFT LIFE EP and Janelle Monáe’s The Age of Pleasure; elevating local talent in Sweden, helping deliver 10 No. 1 singles in the market over the last three years; and artist collaborations, including Doechii, GloRilla, and FLO. Achieving major global sync placements and growing their presence in Asia by 40% are also among the partnership’s successes.
The Lilly Raye management team also continues to make waves behind the scenes, contributing to breakout successes for artists like Ayra Starr, Cian Ducrot, RAYE, and Renee Rapp.
“We’re delighted to renew our deal with Warner Chappell, which has expanded so much in scope over the past few years,” said Edward Matthew and Justin Martinez. “Connecting creative talent across three continents is as exhilarating and inspirational as ever, and Warner Chappell’s combination of global firepower, local knowledge, and cultural curiosity makes it an essential partner for us.”
“I’m so pleased that we’re renewing our collaboration with Edward, Justin, and the whole Lilly Raye crew,” added Lars Karlsson, Managing Director, Warner Chappell Music Nordics. “They bring a passion and an energy to their work that is unrivalled, and they have an uncanny ability to spot talent and partner compatible creatives together.”
Guy Moot, Co-Chair and CEO of Warner Chappell Music, concludes, “We’re built a really solid relationship with Edward and Justin over the past few years. I trust their A&R instincts and their strategic nous. They have an infectious enthusiasm for forging cultural connections between writers and producers from different parts of the world. The amazing results speak for themselves, so I’m excited that we’re extending our partnership.”
