Concord has acquired a portion of songwriter, musician, and producer Johnny McDaid’s song catalog.
McDaid is a key collaborator of Ed Sheeran’s – co-writing many of the British artist’s biggest hits – and is also a member of the band Snow Patrol.
McDaid has also written for the likes of P!nk, Lewis Capaldi, Keith Urban, Shawn Mendes, Zara Larsson, Alicia Keys, and Jung Kook, amongst many others.
MBW understands that Concord’s catalog acquisition includes both the writer’s share and publisher’s share of many McDaid songs released in the past few years, including Ed Sheeran’s Shivers and Bad Habits, plus BTS’s Permission to Dance.
As a part of the new deal, Concord will represent McDaid’s future works as publishing administration partner.
