UK-based BDi Music has signed producer, composer and songwriter Robert Primrose to a worldwide, exclusive publishing deal.

Based in Bristol, Primrose has produced soundtracks for brands such as Honda and Sanctuary Spa.

The latter created a global movement, amassing more than 55 million streams online, and featured in The Times, Telegraph, BBC, Marie Claire and Huffington Post. 

Most recently, Primrose composed the soundtrack for Demelza’s Full Life appeal, where he collaborated with Daniel Radcliffe who provided the film’s narration.

The piece has been shortlisted for the Charity Film Awards.

As a songwriter, Primrose is best known for his work as part of Swimming Girls, through which he has had significant airplay including Radio X, Amazing Radio, Elton John’s Beats 1 Rocket Hour show, and BBC Radio 1, which listed Swimming Girls’ Tastes Like Money as a Radio 1 Introducing Track Of The Week. Primrose has also played Glastonbury’s John Peel Stage in his own right.

The signing is the first for BDi Music’s Junior A&R James Paterson.
