We're all buzzing in camp Dlugokecki, and not because we've been hanging around with champion quiz contestants or bees, because at the weekend we signed our first American Publishing deal. What does that mean exactly? This California based team have been working in the music industry for over 20 years and have links with major TV/Film/Radio broadcasters in the US. They've signed a deal with us for the right to use our songs for those purposes. Obviously if something gets played - Kerching. Andy Wild will be driving a sports car and I'll buy a real X-Wing!!!!

C Management announces the recent signing of Dlugokecki to a publishing and licensing representation deal with U.S. based strategic partners, Amado Music, LLC and PCJ/That Other Label.

The agreement was forged in an effort to secure placements for the artists' music in TV, advertising and film in the States. Southern California based Amado Music, LLC has been producing and licensing original music for advertising, TV and film, as well as producing CD and EP projects for indie singer-songwriters and bands for the past 20 years.

PCJ and That Other Label, both Southern California based independent record labels, (the two labels are sister companies, both owned by CEO Donna Nichols) have distribution channels in the U.S. and abroad and have been signing independent artists to distribution deals since 2003. Between them, the partners are armed with a wide network of Los Angeles film, TV and advertising contacts, background in A&R, radio promotion, a stint producing national television advertising campaigns and extensive knowledge of licensing contracts.

All parties are delighted with the new alliance, "It's our first serious effort to enter into the world of music licensing in the United States," says Mark Smith, Dlugokecki's manager.
