Strategic Partnership Announcement
The London-based company Loland Music, known for its representation of composers, has entered into a strategic partnership with Warp Publishing.
This collaboration will enable Warp to manage the authors and composers associated with Leland.
“As a long-standing fan of Warp, I am thrilled about their support,” said Abi Lland, the founder of Leland, in a statement.
“This partnership allows us to establish an infrastructure that fosters our innovative approach to publication, which moves beyond conventional models, creating a dynamic framework that supports composers in their careers, recognizing that a universal approach may not always be effective in an evolving landscape.”
About Leland Music
Founded in 2005, Leland Music has overseen the search, licensing, and creation of music for various advertising, film, and television projects, including BAFTA-winning series and campaigns for notable brands such as Axe, Greenpeace, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Nike, Sony, Tesco, Visa, Vodafone, and Volkswagen, among others.
“This partnership allows us to develop our new approach to publication.”

In 2020, the company expanded its focus to include composer representation, creating a boutique agency for film and television composers.
“Many agents typically do not sign a composer until they have a stream of placements, whereas we take a different approach, identifying talented individuals at any stage of their journey and nurturing their development,” Lland explained during a 2018 interview with MBW.
Warp Publishing’s Role
Warp Publishing represents a multitude of artists, including Anna Meredith, Bibio, Canadian Mental Health Association, Katerina Barbieri, Daniel Lopatin, Danny Brown, Deadly Captures, Dry Cleaning, Kelsi Lu, Khrangbin, Kwes, Mount Kimbie, and Ives Tumor, among others.
“We are excited to support the growth of their publishing arm and are looking forward to collaborating closely to promote our writers.”

“Leland’s long-standing and exceptional reputation in music, along with their supervision and representation of composers, paired with our shared vision and passion for fostering creative opportunities, makes them an ideal partner for us,” stated Nadine Rizou, General Manager of Warp Publishing.
“We are looking forward to supporting the growth of their publishing arm and eagerly anticipate working together to champion our writers.”
