Warner Chappell Music Nordics has signed a global publishing agreement with Swedish singer, songwriter, and producer Benjamin Ingrosso.
The announcement comes as Ingrosso has just launched his new double single, Funny Feeling and Waste My Time, marking his first new music in nearly two years. It follows his Swedish No.1 album, Pink Velvet Theatre.
“With over one billion global streams, three chart-topping albums, numerous gold and platinum certifications, and multiple sold-out tours, Ingrosso stands as one of Scandinavia’s most culturally defining pop artists and songwriters,” said a statement,
After rising to prominence after winning Sweden’s national Eurovision selection show, Melodifestivalen, in 2018, the hitmaker went on to host three seasons of his TV show Benjamins, and star in the docu-series This Is Benjamin.
Benjamin Ingrosso said: “Songwriting has always been at the core of my artistry, and I feel that Warner Chappell truly shares my vision. I’ve worked with a magnificent international team of writers and producers this past year, and I’m looking forward to taking my songwriting even further with this global team. I’m stoked about what’s to come!”
