History
The history of the UPPM catalogue begins in 1941 with the birth of the Chappell Recorded Music Library. At this time Charles Williams was engaged to conduct the Queens Hall Light Orchestra for a series of recordings (78’s), recorded exclusively for professional use in radio, films and particularly newsreels - one of these recordings was 'Majestic Fanfare', originally recorded in 1943 and still used to this day by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) as their radio news theme.

Since then, over the course of nearly 70 years, the UPPM catalogue has evolved into a diverse and comprehensive collection of the most popular and respected group of Production Music labels in the world.

Most recently in 2007 BMGZomba was aquired by Universal Music Publishing and they were welcomed as part of the Universal Music Group. They continue to work with our highly respected labels with international additions such as Mastersource and Immediate music.

With over 30 offices around the globe they remain the worldwide leader in Production Music.
