300 Publishing joins forces with Warner Chappell Music in a dynamic publishing venture that includes joint signings with emerging and established songwriters alike.300 Publishing, the publishing division of Warner Music Group (WMG) label 300 Entertainment, is joining forces with Warner Chappell Music, WMG’s global publishing arm, to jointly sign both emerging and established songwriters. The new venture includes signings with hit makers like Sean Momberger, who co-produced Kendrick Lamar’s smash hit “Not Like Us” and Jack Harlow’s “Lovin’ On Me.”
The venture will be spearheaded by 300 Publishing VP Jenn Essiembre, who shares, “It all starts with a song. At 300 Publishing, we’re fiercely committed to songwriter development and building careers from the ground up. I’m honored that Kevin [Liles] has entrusted me to spearhead this business, and am looking forward to working with the team at Warner Chappell to supercharge our offering.”
“Jenn has been instrumental in developing 300 Publishing and is the only person I’d want steering this ship — she’s a force in the industry and has already made a huge impact with top-tier signings and No. 1 hits,” added 3EE Chairman and CEO Kevin Liles.“Keeping it in the WMG family and partnering with the world-class WCM led by Guy [Moot] and Carianne [Marshall] was an obvious choice for us. They’re the best in the business and together we’ll expand our ability to deliver for our writers and producers. Rayna [Bass, 300 Entertainment Co-President], Selim [Bouab, 300 Entertainment Co-President], and I are committed to establishing a first class eco-system to be of service to the creative community. Our value proposition is that we are #biggerfamilybusiness.”
“We’ve been impressed with 300 and the work Kevin and team are doing to support artists and champion their music in bold new ways,” said WCM co-chair and CEO Guy Moot and co-chair and COO Carianne Marshall. “We share a similar mindset at Warner Chappell and believe in doing things differently and carving our own path, so joining together with such an impactful team marks the beginning of a strong partnership. We look forward to all the great songwriters and artists we’ll sign and develop together.”
