LONDON (CelebrityAccess) – Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG), a leading global music publishing company, in collaboration with indie dance music publisher Organized Chaos, has signed UK producer Scott Forshaw to an exclusive, global publishing agreement.
Forshaw already has an impressive 15 million global streams through major dance label releases on Armada, Ultra, and Toolroom and a peak of more than 250,000 unique monthly listeners on Spotify. Beyond his solo endeavors, Forshaw also has co-production credits with renowned artists such as John Newman, Altego, Black Caviar, and more, underlining his fast-growing reputation in the industry.
Recently appointed host of the specialist Dance show on Virgin Radio – the UAE’s most prominent commercial station – Forshaw joins a roster of chart-topping talent at Organized Chaos, including PS1, Tobtok, Tim Powell, and Ros T.
The deal will see Forshaw working closely alongside Organized Chaos co-founders Adam Griffin and Robert Davies of the boutique independent Organized Chaos as the brand continues its rapid growth alongside that of its record label and artist management agency, Perfect Havoc, where Forshaw is also now signed. Over 200 songs have been published from the ever-growing Organized Chaos catalog, including the UK Top 20 hit “PS1—Fake Friends” featuring Alex Hosking (No.19), culminating in worldwide syncs with brands such as Google, Apple and Canon.
Forshaw’s profile is most prolific in the Middle East, where he’s a regular on the festival circuit and club scene. He’s notably been the resident DJ at Zero Gravity, Dubai’s largest beach club, since 2016. His consistency has seen him nominated for five high-profile awards from Time Out and What’s On and winning two in the process.
Griffin said, “We are delighted to sign Scott Forshaw. Having worked together since January, we have been blown away by his speed and quality of delivery. He brings versatile production of the highest standard across all genres for other musical stars and as an artist in his own right. His incredible experience DJing at some of the biggest festivals in the world and supporting artists like The Swedish House Mafia in arenas means he knows what works on crowds, which is a bit lost in the marketplace at the moment. He is one of the biggest and most trusted DJs in the Emirates. Also, working with artists such as John Newman for years is a testament to Scott’s talent. He’s charming, easy to work with, extremely hard-working and very quick. He has a wonderful future ahead.”
Forshaw commented, “I’m excited to embark on the next chapter of my career with Adam, Rob, and the UMPG/Organized Chaos team. I believe that together, we can build upon the strong foundations we have established and advance towards future successes.”
Dougie Bruce, Senior A&R Director at UMPG, said, “We are delighted to welcome Scott Forshaw to UMPG. Scott is a rare, versatile and highly skilled producer. Working with our sub-publisher, Organized Chaos, we are very excited to welcome him to our joint roster and realize the project together.”
New music from Forshaw with Perfect Havoc/Organized Chaos can be expected later this year as the label continues to build on its 10 billion global streams and multiple Platinum, Gold and Silver awards.
