Hamburg-based music publisher Peermusic has signed one of Germany’s most successful composers and producers, Peter Hoffmann and his publishing company Capellmeister Musikverlag.
Hoffmann is credited with discovering and producing German band Tokio Hotel, which is now Germany’s most recognised contemporary music act internationally. The group’s latest album, “Scream” (Cherrytree/Interscope) peaked at No. 39 on the Billboard 200. Hoffmann’s other top-selling performers include German soul singer Jennifer Kae, children’s group Lollipops and veteran artists Vicky Leandros and Marianne Rosenberg.
