Imagem Music USA (IMU), home to such talent as Phil Collins, Genesis, Steve Robson, Guy Sigsworth and The Temper Trap, has signed a worldwide, multi-year co-publishing agreement with writer/producer Jens Gad.
Best known for working with the globally successful Enigma, writer/producer Jens Gad has recently relocated his studio to the US. The older brother and, in many ways, inspiration of fellow writer/producer Toby Gad (Beyoncé - "If I Were a Boy"; Fergie - "Big Girls Don't Cry"), Jens, in the words of Richard Stumpf, President of IMU, has "hit the ground running." Hard at work writing for a number of forthcoming artist releases, Jens is a multi-instrumentalist, passionate about drawing the perfect song from each artist he works with.
Stumpf commented: "The musicianship, experience, and versatility that Jens has make him an extremely strong writer/producer. Whether it is a ‘chill out' Enigma style song, or an upbeat pop smash with a huge hook, Jens has quite the sonic tool box. We are thrilled to have him as part of our writer family."
Gad noted: "I really found my perfect home at Imagem; their global setup, style, variety and proactive approach form the ideal environment for my writing and production needs."
