Sony/ATV Music Publishing along with Chainsmokers manager Adam Alpert are launching a joint venture music publishing company, dubbed Selector Songs, which will focus on pop and EDM talent.
The deal extends Sony/ATV’s relationship with Alpert as it already cut a publishing deal with the Chainsmokers, whose hit “Selifie” has sold around 900,000 downloads in the U.S. The move also comes on the heels of Alpert forming Disruptor Records, a joint venture label with Sony Music Entertainment.

Alpert, who also has his own management company Disruptor Management, has a background in hospitality, nightclubs and was a founding partner in 2009 in a management company specializing in DJs and producers.
“Selector Songs will be both a home for the most exciting and established producers, songwriters, and musicians as well as an incubator for the burgeoning talent of the future,” Alpert said in a statement. “Rounding out the one-stop shop of Disruptor Management and Disruptor Records, Selector Songs will focus on long-term artist development and modern recipes for success.”
