RAK SANGHVI
Managing Director UK/International, Spirit B-Unique
Rak Sanghvi is a seasoned music publisher with close to 20 years of experience at the highest level. He joined Sony/ATV (UK) in 1997 in a business affairs capacity, becoming managing director of the company in 2005, a post which he held until 2012 when the company merged with EMI. During his tenure as MD of Sony/ATV the company's UK market share grew from 5.5% (combined albums and singles) in 2005 to its 2012 pre-merger peak of 24.4% (albums) and 17.2% (singles). Signings during that time included Ed Sheeran, Rudimental, Jessie J, Gary Barlow, Kasabian, Robert Plant, James Morrison, The Ting Tings, Foster The People, The Naked And Famous, Jamiroquai, Billy Bragg, and Katherine Jenkins, amongst many others.
In 2015, Rak introduced B-Unique Publishing to Spirit Music Group resulting in a new joint venture, Spirit B-Unique, which he now oversees outside of the USA. The company represents established and emerging artists such as James Bay, John Newman, Kodaline, Snow Patrol (US only) and Dagny together with high-caliber songwriters such as Jonny Coffer, Johnny McDaid, Show n Prove, as well as iconic catalogues such as Pete Townshend and T-Rex.
