Melbourne based singer songwriter Roma Waterman has signed a publishing deal with First Company Publishing. The deal will encompass more than 60 of Waterman’s songs, including ‘I Was Carried’, ‘No Ordinary Life’, and the recently performed song on Channel Nine’s ‘Carol by candlelight: ‘Our Christmas Prayer’.
First Company Publishing is a new publishing company based in the U.S. TRAA reports that it has been formed by four Australian music industry veterans - Paul Bootes (Managing Director of Koorong Books), Dale Bray (President of Inpop Records), Wes Campbell (newsboys’ Manager), and Peter Furler (newsboys’ lead singer).
“I’m really keen to see that the message of salvation, hope, and God’s love reaches as many people as possible,” Waterman told TRAA, “I’ve really needed a company that believes in my music, one that is my eyes and ears in America, making the most of every opportunity.”
