Universal Music Publishing Germany and Electric Feel Europe today announced that acclaimed producer and songwriter Jumpa has been signed to an exclusive, worldwide publishing agreement. This new agreement builds upon his previous administration deal and adds UMPG as co-publisher.
The multi-platinum award winner is celebrated as one of today’s most in-demand hitmakers, penning hits for many of the biggest names in hip-hop and pop music such as Apache 207, Udo Lindenberg, badmómzjay, Bausa, Sido, Loredana, Montez and Kool Savas, among others. In February of this year Jumpa has been awarded the GEMA Music Authors' Prize (GEMA Musikautor*innenpreis) in the category “Most Successful Song” for “Komet” by Udo Lindenberg & Apache 207, which was the longest-running number 1 hit of all time.
Throughout his career, Jumpa has written and produced countless Top 10 hits, including “Fühlst Du das auch” by Apache 207, Loredana and Mozzik’s “Rosenkrieg” and “Auf die Party” with badmómzjay and Domiziana. More recently, Jumpa worked on badmómzjay’s newly released album ”Don’t Trust Bitches,” where he co-produced 14 tracks, as well as Apache 207’s single “Loser” which made its debut at number 2 on the German Single Charts.
Thomas Vidovic, Managing Director Universal Music Publishing Germany / SVP Austria & Switzerland, said: “We are absolutely thrilled that Jumpa is part of the UMPG and Electric Feel family. He is one the greatest producers of our time. Coming from the German rap scene, he has been shaping the sound of a whole generation. With countless hit songs in the books, his talent and skills are still awe-inspiring. We’re so much looking forward to working with him and seeing his star rise outside of Germany.”
Jumpa said: “I'm excited to announce that I've renewed my contract with Universal Music Publishing and Electric Feel Publishing. The past three years have been a journey of growth, challenges, and musical exploration. This renewal is a commitment to continue pushing boundaries and exploring new musical landscapes. Thanks to Universal Music Publishing and Electric Feel for their support.”
Niels Eberhardt, Head of Operations, Electric Feel Publishing Europe: “Jumpa has proven several times over the last few years that he’s one of the most outstanding and innovative producers in Europe. We’re really proud to extend this partnership, accompany him on the upcoming journey and are very excited about all future projects.”
The extension with Jumpa strengthens the collaborative agreement between UMP Germany and Electric Feel Europe, whose other signings include hit-producers Suena and Berky, as well as German artists such as Cloudy June or Luzi.
