Anna Lunoe Inks Exclusive Worldwide Publishing Deal With BMG
Electronic music producer and DJ Anna Lunoe has signed an exclusive worldwide publishing agreement with BMG, issued Thursday, Aug. 20.
Strategic Alignment in the Global Publishing Landscape
Heath Johns, president, Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia, BMG, characterized the signing as a move to support an “icon” who has consistently paved the way for Australian electronic musicians.
Lunoe’s music has already been featured in high-profile properties including the film Girls Trip, the series Heartbreak High, and the NBA 2K gaming franchise. Managing these complex licensing deals requires precise oversight, particularly when navigating the intersection of music rights and brand partnerships with entities like Versace, Cartier, and Formula 1.
Breaking Barriers in EDM
Lunoe’s career trajectory is marked by several notable industry milestones. In 2016, she became the first woman to spin a solo set on the kineticFIELD mainstage at Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) Las Vegas. Her performance at Coachella in 2017, delivered while she was eight months pregnant, further cemented her reputation for challenging industry norms regarding the visibility of women in electronic dance music.
Her production work has received significant critical validation. Her debut album, Pearl, released via NLV Records, was named one of the best dance albums of 2024 by Billboard. This success, paired with her long-running HYPERHOUSE show on Apple Music Radio, underscores her ability to maintain a consistent presence in the digital media ecosystem.
The Logistical Demands of a Global Music Brand
As BMG integrates Lunoe into its roster—which already includes artists such as Neil Finn, Jet, and What So Not—the firm is positioning itself to amplify her reach in Southeast Asia and beyond.
