Jinsing & UMPG signs producer, songwriter and DJ Jodie Harsh

Universal Music Publishing UK and Jinsing, a publishing imprint created by hit artist/songwriter Jin Jin, today announced that producer, songwriter and DJ Jodie Harsh has been signed to an exclusive global publishing deal. 

Jin Jin, who has written multiplatinum songs for Jess Glynne, RAYE, Jax Jones, said: “It’s an absolute honour & pleasure to be working with such an amazing talent in Jodie Harsh. Such an incredible Songwriter, Producer, Artist & DJ, who I have had the privilege to have collaborated with in the studio. I’m absolutely thrilled & so excited for this journey as Jinsing/Universal Music Publishing alongside Massive Management”.

Mike McCormack, MD of UMPG UK, added: “The combination of a star like Jodie working with hit writer Jin Jin creating huge pop bangers was too much of a fun ride to miss! We are thrilled to partner with such influential talents and the UMPG global team looks forward to supporting their imminent success.”

It’s been a huge 12 months for Jodie who signed an artist deal with Warner Records UK and released two smash singles including ‘My House’ which has accumulated over six million streams to date. The hit saw Jodie make history as the first drag artist to be playlisted at Radio 1, where she also stood in for Annie Mac and contributed an Essential Mix, following in the footsteps of Daft Punk, Armand van Helden, Peggy Gou, Honey Djion and some of the most iconic names in dance music. Recently, Jodie released single ‘No Sleep’ which has garnered huge support at radio and across streaming platforms.

Billy Clark, Senior Artist Manager at Massive Management, said: “Three years ago, Jodie came in to meet us. We always had a strategy and knew that was the long game. From releasing a run of independent EPs, to finding our key supporter in Jaguar at Radio 1 Dance through to Annie Mac, Danny Howard and daytime support from Charlie Hedges and Clara Amfo, and signing a worldwide deal to Warner Records. The ethos was always quality over quantity, and I am beyond thrilled for her to join the Jinsing / Universal Music Publishing family.”

Pete Simmons, Director of A&R at UMPG UK, added: “I’m delighted that we’re working with Jodie at UMPG, alongside Jinsing and the crew at Massive Management. She is somebody who knows how to make people dance and make dancefloors smile!”

Jodie recently followed a sold-out London show with mainstage performances at Creamfields alongside major talent including Arielle Free, Jonas Blue, Oliver Heldens and David Guetta and mainstage Manchester Pride.
