Hugely Successful and Respected Producer and Songwriter to be Based in Company’s Iconic Capitol Tower in Hollywood

Hollywood, CA, July 14, 2015 – Adam Anders, the highly successful producer and songwriter who has sold more than 100 million albums and created music for some of the most successful films and television shows in history, has signed an exclusive worldwide agreement with Capitol Music Group that will establish his Deep Well Records as an associated label within CMG’s Virgin Records.  The deal was announced today by Anders, CMG’s Chairman & CEO Steve Barnett and CMG COO Michelle Jubelirer.  Anders and Deep Well Records staff will be based in CMG’s iconic Capitol Tower in Hollywood.

Under the terms of the agreement, Anders and Deep Well Records are charged with discovering new and developing recording artists and furnishing their services to Virgin on a case-by-case basis.  Deep Well may also call upon the services of CMG’s independent distribution division, Caroline, on a case-by-case basis for artists deemed appropriate for a more independent approach to development and releases.

According to Jubelirer, the agreement with Anders and Deep Well is of great value to CMG, “We couldn’t be happier that Adam is joining the CMG family and bringing Deep Well Records into the fold.  Adam is one of music’s most talented figures, and he’ll be receiving tremendous support from CMG and Virgin that will enable him to continue his stellar record of accomplishment in the years to come.”

Anders commented, “I couldn’t be more excited to have the opportunity to work with Steve and Michelle, two of the most dynamic and respected executives in our industry.  With a myriad of creativity and hits, they have built something unique and special at CMG and I can’t wait to be a part of what I feel is the hottest building in the music business.   It’s a dream situation.”
