Ne-Yo Launches U.K. Office

Ne-Yo's production and artist development/management and company, Compound Entertainment is opening up a branch in the U.K. The business is set to look for "U.K. talent in all its forms - artists, songwriters, whatever's out there." The venture will also service music publishing rights. The first British act signed to Compound Entertainment is R&B boy band, FDM who has a record deal with Geffen Records. "Compound is co-managing the group and co-executive producing its forthcoming album. Compound Entertainment was founded by Ne-Yo and his manager/business partner Reynell "Tango" Hay, who run the company as joint-CEOs. Ne-Yo said the U.K. arm was likely to be its only international office for the foreseeable future."
