Nova Scotian-based Sound of Pop has signed a sub-publishing agreement with New York-based boutique production house Figure and Groove for representation here.


Founded in 2001, Sound of Pop (SOP) is an award-winning Music Publishing and Master/Sync representation company with a growing catalogue of over 1000 songs by Canadian artists/songwriters including Chris Kirby, Fairgale, Quote the Raven, Brianna Gosse, Chris Ryan, FM Berlin, Candice Sand, and Coco Love Alcorn.

SOP also represents international acts Kidneythieves (US), Voltaire Twins (Australia) and Bettie Serveert (Netherlands) for sync.

Sound of Pop’s Tim Hardy said: “It’s amazing how these things get started. The process began at a meeting with a music biz friend in London, England who subsequently suggested Sound of Pop to another UK colleague of hers who was looking for a Canadian sub-publisher for one of his New York-based clients. After a few emails & Skype calls, we all agreed it was a great fit and signed the agreement on July 1st, Canada Day."
