Jamie Collinson Named General Manager of Riff City Sounds

Riff City Reps over 1,400 Compositions, including works from Mandolin Orange, Aofie O’Donovan, Alejandro Escovedo, Mapache and Daddy Long Legs, among others. Industry Vet will be Los Angeles-based.

Yep Roc Music Group announces the hiring of industry vet Jamie Collinson as General Manager of Riff City Sounds, its 15-year old publishing company.  Collinson’s previous role was as Head of Ninja Tune North America, where he worked for fourteen years.

Collinson’s hiring is part of a general expansion for Riff City Sounds, as the company looks to both develop its roster of writers and catalog, and to generate new creative opportunities for its existing writers. Collinson will be based in Los Angeles, which the company sees as the perfect market for its publishing division.

“I’m thrilled to be joining Riff City Sounds,” says Collinson. “Yep Roc Music Group is one of the best companies I’ve worked with in North America and globally, and I have a very strong connection to the business. I’m excited for the possibilities of publishing in the expanding industry and want to deliver the sort of active work I hope I’ve done on the recording side. The plan is to deliver excellent co-writing, scoring, and other creative opportunities for the existing roster, as well as to sign great new writers from any genre – something that’s a particularly exciting prospect. Riff City’s key strength is that we work our admin clients’ songs aggressively to synch and other creative opportunities – something that’s becoming very rare on admin-only deals.’

Billy Maupin, General Manager of Yep Roc Music group said, “Jamie possesses a rare combination of big-picture-strategic thinking with a roll up your sleeves, get it done spirit that has long been a hallmark of successful publishers. We think that unique combination, along with his deep relationships in the independent sector, will provide a natural benefit for Riff City and its writers in the long term.”

Notable compositions in the Riff City Catalogue range from Mandolin Orange’s “Wildfire,” recently performed on CBS This Morning, to Mapache’s “Life on Fire,” the latest single from Yep Roc Records’ newest signing.
