Tyneside music firm on track for international success

A Tyneside music company is on track for international success after taking its expertise to the US.

Loft Music, of Newcastle, specialises in the creation of modern contemporary music, which through its partners, it markets directly as album releases as both CDs and downloads. The company also offers a comprehensive service providing music for the television and computer games industries.

The company was keen to broaden its horizons and to identify potential overseas markets, which included the United States of America.

The company has already sold three tracks to the producers of CSI Miami and has secured several contracts within the American computer games industry and further contracts are expected.

Andrew Archer, a partner with Loft Music, said: “UK Trade & Investment helped us to realise just how much potential the USA market offered us. “I frequently visited America following up the leads, liaising with the commercial officers there and meeting potential customers.

“Now things are really taking off. We are about to sign major deals with a company that supplies music to a range of TV shows including ‘House’ as well as several other computer games companies.

“We’re also selling our own electronic music throughout the US. We’re delighted with what we’ve achieved so far.”
