UMPG signs multi-Grammy award-winning talent Jack Antonoff to exclusive, global publishing agreement

UMPG is thrilled to welcome globally acclaimed singer, songwriter and producer Jack Antonoff who has been signed to an exclusive, global publishing agreement. Through the new deal, Antonoff reunites with his long-time publishing A&R Jennifer Knoepfle (EVP, Co-Head of A&R) after an exceptional decade of working together.

An eight-time Grammy winner and proven hitmaker, Antonoff has collaborated with superstars including Taylor Swift, The 1975, Lana Del Rey, Diana Ross, Lorde, St. Vincent, Florence + The Machine and Kevin Abstract. Recently, Antonoff and Swift celebrated back-to-back #1 pop records “Karma” and “Cruel Summer.” Additionally, Antonoff is the lead singer and songwriter of the band, Bleachers, whose hits include No. 1 US Alternative “I Wanna Get Better,” and No. 3 songs “Rollercoaster” and “Don’t Take the Money.” 

Speaking on the announcement, Jennifer Knoepfle, UMPG Executive Vice President and Co-Head of A&R, said: “Jack is honestly one of one. To continue being his publisher is an honor we don’t take for granted. He’s even more creative and prolific than when I first met him over a decade ago – and that’s saying a lot! I look forward to this next chapter for him with UMPG by his side.” 

Across numerous accolades, Antonoff has earned eight Grammy Awards, including winning Producer of the Year in both 2022 and 2023. He recently picked up the Ivor Novello Award for ‘Best Song Musically and Lyrically’ earlier this year for his work on fellow UMPG artist Florence & The Machine’s hit “King.”
