The Notting Hill Music Group Plc is a truly international music publishing operation, based in London and Los Angeles, with first-class representation in every corner of the globe. Founded in 1990 as the international repertoire division of the Japanese Nippon Television Music Corporation, it became Notting Hill Music following a successful management buyout in 1993 and has rapidly become one of the world’s leading independent music publishers.

The Notting Hill Music Group PLC can offer a complete range of publishing, sub-publishing, international administration and territorial publishing representation arrangements. In addition to our own extensive catalogue, the company also administers a growing number of third party music publishing companies and we are able to structure tailor-made publishing arrangements for the most demanding of clients.

Promotion & Exploitation of Copyrights

Our songs have provided the soundtrack to many major television commercials for such brands as Siemens, Pepsi, Barclays Bank, Guinness, Technics, Budweiser, Peugeot, Carlsberg, Mitsubishi Motors, Mercedes Benz, Ford, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Grolsch, Nokia and Pizza Hut.

Royalty Collection & Administration

Notting Hill Music has invested heavily in state of the art royalty collection and accounting systems. The company has on-line computer links with copyright societies around the World to enable us to track royalties which are then processed by our in-house royalties departments which can give up-to-the-minute reports on any individual royalty account.

The company has the benefit of a carefully selected network of international sub-publishers who represent the company in various territories around the world. It is this global coverage that allows the company to compete on level terms with the multi-national corporations whilst retaining all of the advantages of an independent publisher.
