Indie publisher Imagem secures Kaiser Chiefs deal

Independent music publisher Imagem Music Group has secured a new international deal with Leeds band Kaiser Chiefs.

The deal, according to Music Week, sees London-based Imagem renew an original agreement from 2008 to publish the work of Kaiser Chiefs globally.

The managing director of Imagem Music UK, Kim Frankiewicz, said: “Our history with the Kaisers goes back to the very beginning at Imagem.

“As a band they have evolved and the spirit of their songwriting has an unbound energy.”

She added: “I’m delighted to be working with them once more, this time on a global basis, working alongside our offices in Europe, North America, as well as our partners throughout the world.”

Imagem, founded in the Netherlands seven years ago, has previously worked with a number of international bands and artists, including French duo Daft Punk and English singer-songwriter Phil Collins.

James Sandom of Redlight Management, which manages Kaiser Chiefs, said of the deal: “We’re delighted to sign a direct deal for Kaiser Chiefs with Imagem Music.

“Imagem has proven a dedicated and creative home for the band since the acquisition of Rondor Music in 2008‎, helping secure a number of substantial licenses and showing the attention to detail any artist would wish for from their publisher.”
