Universal Music Publishing Group has signed Randy Newman to an exclusive, worldwide publishing agreement excluding North America.

Newman will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April. He's also a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and he's won six Grammys and two Oscars.

Newman's compositions for film and television have been featured prominently in films like Meet the Parents, Michael, Milk Money, The Paper, Babe: Pig in the City, and many others. He's also found success as a solo artist, and his songs have been performed by some of music's most popular artists, including Neil Diamond, Bonnie Raitt, Joe Cocker, and many more.

"Idiosyncratic style that between sweeping, cinematic pop and rolling R&B has influenced several generations of songwriters."
-- Billboard

"Chromatic twists worthy of George Gershwin and Kurt Weill."
-- Rolling Stone on Randy Newman's music
