We are extremely pleased to announce the signing of Timomatic to a worldwide publishing agreement.

First setting the Australian public’s imagination alight with his jaw-dropping performances on TV series So You Think You Can Dance? and Australia’s Got Talent, there is no doubt that Timomatic is an extraordinary artist.

A writer, performer, vocalist, producer and choreographer, Timomatic has now set his sights on his music and has signed with Sony Music Entertainment and released his debut single Set It Off (co-written with our own DNA Songs) which was added to the 2Day FM Hot 30 on the day of release, a first for any Sony act in over 18 months.

Please join us in welcoming Timomatic to the EMI Publishing family!

We are pleased to announce that 16 year old Reece Mastin has taken out the top spot on X-Factor Australia with the track "Good Night" as his debut single.

"Good Night" was co-written by EMI Published writer/producers DNA Songs and EMI Publishing Australia's newest signing Hayley Warner.

Hitting #1 on the iTunes singles charts just minutes after the winners announcement, the single sold 30,000 units in 24 hours, an average of one copy every 2.7 seconds making “Good Night” officially Sony Music Australia’s fastest selling digital single ever.

The song debuted at # 1 on the ARIA Single Charts and to this date remains in the ARIA Top 5 and is certified double platinum after 4 weeks.
