\n\tFrench music company Believe has launched a new music publishing arm, the company announced Tuesday (Oct. 6).<\/p>\n

\n\tBelieve Music Publishing launches more than two years after Believe acquired U.K.-based publisher Sentric Music Group<\/a>, which represented more than four million songs and over 400,000 songwriters in more than 200 territories at the time of the deal. Believe bought Sentric from Utopia Music in a transaction that valued it at \u20ac47 million ($51 million). When the transaction was announced, Believe founder\/CEO Denis Ladegaillerie<\/strong> billed it as a \u201cfirst step\u201d in the company\u2019s expansion into publishing. <\/p>\n

I am confident that Chris and the outstanding team he is building will successfully drive our innovative digital-first offering, putting our global and comprehensive approach at the service of artists, labels and publishers at each stage of their careers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMeehan added, \u201cIt has been an incredible journey and honor to build the foundations and see the first exceptional results of Believe\u2019s publishing business, since its acquisition of Sentric. I am convinced that our unique model, expert teams, innovative approach with our CMO and DSP partners, as well as our industry leading technology will lead Believe to consolidate its position as a key global publishing player in the years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
