PULSE Music Group has teamed up with the multi-platinum award-winning songwriter and producer Mark Ronson to form a music publishing joint venture partnership. Swedish artist and producer Thea Gustafsson, known professionally as Becky and the Birds, is their first signing.

Gustafsson studied at Musikmakarna Songwriters Academy of Sweden after training as a violinist in childhood. She handles writing, recording, and production duties under her stage name. This year, she secured four nominations at the Swedish Grammis awards, including Album of the Year and Alternative Pop Record of the Year for Only Music Makes Me Cry Now, plus Newcomer of the Year. She won Producer of the Year.

Ronson’s production credits span some of pop music’s most popular records over the past three decades. The nine-time Grammy, Academy Award, and Golden Globe-winning producer and songwriter produced Amy Winehouse‘s Back to Black, and Bruno Mars’ global smash hit Uptown Funk. His work on Shallow for A Star Is Born brought him an Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy Award. Ronson has also worked with artists like Lady Gaga, Adele, Paul McCartney, Miley Cyrus, and Dua Lipa.
