Armada Music Publishing Reveals Series of New Deals
Armada Music Publishing has revealed a series of new deals with Bloom Twins, Shells and Trance Wax, as well as the extension of its partnership with Da Beatfreakz.
“Armada Music Publishing continues to grow its presence in the UK, further expanding its roster of successful producers and songwriters that already includes D.O.D, Ki Fitzgerald, Tom Staar, Kryder, Chicane and more,” said a statement.
The London-based dance-pop duo Bloom Twins (pictured) is comprised of Ukrainian twin sisters Anna and Sofia Kuprienko.
The deal with Bloom Twinswill further develop their songwriting and producing careers, building on tracks including High On Beat (feat. Jan Blomqvist), DayDream (feat. Benny Benassi) and Opposite Of Crazy (feat. Purple Disco Machine), as well as their presence in the fashion world, with appearances at Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2023 runway show and campaigns for Sephora, Armani A/X, Swarovski, Si Rossi, Pandora and more.
Sarah Sheldrake, also known as Shells, achieved a UK Top 5 hit as a co-writer on Dancing Is Healing (recorded by Charlotte Plank, Rudimental and Vibe Chemistry), which was nominated for Song Of The Year at the 2024 BRIT Awards. She has also collaborated with artists such as Meduza and Sonny Fodera.
Belfast-based producer Garry McCartney, aka Trance Wax, is known for tracks like Black Lion and Rhythm Of The Night, as well as his remixes of Tom Smith and Meduza. He is also recognised for his live sets and has performed at London’s Printworks in support of Above & Beyond.
Additionally, the publishing division has renewed its exclusive songwriter agreement with Da Beatfreakz (Obi 'O1' and Uche Ebele 'U1'). The deal builds on Armada’s initial partnership with Da Beatfreakz, which is marked by the duo’s co-written share in the huge hit Prada (performed by Cassö, Raye and D-Block Europe). The single has surpassed a billion streams and was nominated for Song Of The Year at the 2025 BRIT Awards and for an Ivor Novello Award.
“This is an exciting time for Armada Music Publishing – we’re honoured to join forces with Bloom Twins, Shells and Trance Wax, and build on the success of our partnership with Da Beatfreakz,” said Maykel Piron, CEO of Armada Music Group. “Each of them truly represents the very best in songwriting, and we’re thrilled to support them on their respective musical journeys.”
As well as Armada Music Publishing, Armada Music Group also operates independent dance music label Armada Music and dance investment fund BEAT Music Fund.
