“I am very excited about the plans for my music and look forward to a long and fruitful working arrangement,” Crow said.

FSMG co-managing directors Geordie Manolas and Steve McMellon will work with Crow and her team to promote the use of her songs across a variety of media channels.

Revenues will be exploited through ramped-up on-the-ground royalty collections.

FSMG is a joint venture between Colonial First State Global Asset Management and an investment management team led by McMellon and Manolas.

The FSMG portfolio has around 30,000 songs, including hits “All I Wanna Do”, “Everyday Is A Winding Road” and “Soak Up The Sun”.
