Cheryl Pawelski, Partner, Omnivore, said: “We are so pleased to be back in the Warner family, where all of us at Omnivore have had deep ties throughout our careers. ADA and Warner Music Group have historically prioritized music, artists, quality, and creativity above all else and continue to do so to this day. We look forward to working together in close partnership with ADA Worldwide to release more exciting musical discoveries from the archives.”
Adriana Sein, Global Head of Artist & Market Development, ADA Worldwide, said: “Omnivore shares the same passion and respect for high-quality music that we do at ADA. The team has a remarkable commitment to ensuring their historical releases preserve the original sound of the recording, and they show that same care when it comes to releasing new music in both physical and digital formats. With expertise in both areas, and a team dedicated to catalog, we’re excited for this partnership and confident that ADA will help bring Omnivore to the next level.”
