French record producer and DJ Bob Sinclar has signed a global administration and sub-publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music, the music publishing arm of Warner Music Group.
The deal covers a catalog of more than 350 works written or composed by Sinclar, and published or co-published by Mighty Bop Sessions.
It includes World Hold On, Love Generation, and The Beat Goes On, as well as repertoire from Africanism.
Christophe Le Friant adopted the moniker Bob Sinclar in 1998, and has been associated with popularizing French house, a subgenre of house music that emerged from France during the 1990s.
Sinclar has collaborated with artists such as Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams, and Sean Paul. He has also remixed music from artists including Jamiroquai, Madonna, Moby, and Rihanna.
He combined his mainstream collaborations with underground releases through Yellow Productions, his own record label.
Sinclar was also a player in the Africanism project, which featured collaborations between DJs and African artists.
Bob Sinclar said: “I’m very excited about this new journey with Warner Chappell Music. Their entire team has been motivated and I’m sure we will do great things together!”
