UMPG INKS BOCELLI

Andrea Bocelli has signed an exclusive global publishing agreement with Universal Music Publishing Group through UMPG’s Classics & Screen department. The company will represent Bocelli’s future works, as well as his latest album, A Family Christmas.

“Building upon our longstanding partnership with Universal Music Group, this collaboration marks a significant milestone in Andrea’s journey,” Almud Music CEO Veronica Berti Bocelli and Maverick Management’s Francesco Pasquero said in a joint statement. “As we celebrate maestro’s 30th anniversary this year, we're excited to continue expanding Andrea’s legacy and reach even greater heights with the support of UMPG.”
