29 October 2024 - Press release

 

B-Unique Music is pleased to announce the extension of its seven-year publishing relationship with renowned songwriter and producer Jon "MAGS" Maguire. The new worldwide deal continues a highly successful partnership that has seen significant achievements and global success.

Over the past seven years, Jon Maguire and B-Unique have amassed over 5 billion streams together, including the global hit “You Are The Reason,” which has earned Platinum or Gold certification in 21 countries, including 5x Platinum in the U.S. and 2x Platinum in the U.K.

Jon has collaborated with a wide range of leading artists, including Calum Scott, Kodaline, James Bay, Rita Ora, Christina Perri, Leona Lewis, and top names in the dance music world such as Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Jax Jones, and Sam Feldt. His versatility as a songwriter and producer has established him as a key figure in the UK in both pop and dance music.

In addition to his previous collaborations with Calum Scott, Jon is currently executive producing and has co-written the entirety of Scott’s highly anticipated third studio album, due for release in 2025.

Reflecting on the renewal of the partnership, Jon shared:
"Nobody knows the music industry like Mark and Martin, and I’m excited to extend my stay at B-Unique. We first met in 2017 at the Courthouse Hotel in Soho over a few Guinness. I remember Martin asking me directly what I wanted—I plucked a random number from my head, and a week later I had a deal in front of me that was unrecognisably better than every other deal I had on the table in every way. As a writer just starting out, their belief in me gave me the confidence I needed to succeed. I wouldn’t be where I am today without them. Not only have they been amazing publishers, but now partners in my publishing company, Ordio Publishing."

Mark Lewis and Martin Toher, co-founders of B-Unique, commented on the extension: "Jon has consistently shown remarkable talent and dedication over the years. We’re proud to continue our relationship with him and look forward to more success in the future."

This deal reinforces the commitment between B-Unique and Jon Maguire to explore new creative opportunities and continue building on their global success.
