Razor Boy Music Publishing

Razor Boy Music Publishing is an independent Swedish music publishing company established on 1 June 2008. The company was founded and is owned by Fredrik Olsson, who oversees its day-to-day creative and administrative operations. Anders Bagge is identified as a silent partner and co-owner. Rather than operating as a conventional record label or artist-management company, Razor Boy’s core business is the development, representation, administration, and exploitation of musical compositions created by contracted songwriters and producers. The company’s catalogue has been associated with internationally released songs across mainstream pop, dance, R&B, and Japanese popular music. Its writers and producers have contributed material to recordings by artists including David Guetta, Kelly Rowland, Kesha, Kylie Minogue, the Pussycat Dolls, Miley Cyrus, Armin van Buuren, Celine Dion, Cheryl Cole, Stooshe, Union J, Girls’ Generation, Namie Amuro, EXO, KAT-TUN, and other performers. Among the company’s publicly highlighted writers are Mim and Liv Nervo, also known as the Nervo Twins; Jo Perry; and Didrik Thott. The wider roster has included approximately ten additional songwriters and producers, according to the company profile reproduced in the subject’s reference material. The Nervo Twins are associated with “When Love Takes Over,” performed by David Guetta featuring Kelly Rowland, as well as compositions recorded by acts such as Kesha, Kylie Minogue, the Pussycat Dolls, Miley Cyrus, and Armin van Buuren. Jo Perry’s credits include work for Loick Essien, Peter Andre, Cheryl Cole, and Union J. Perry also wrote songs for the British girl group Stooshe, including “Love Me,” featuring Travie McCoy, and “Black Heart,” which became a prominent UK hit in the 2012–2013 period. Didrik Thott’s credited work includes songs connected with Celine Dion, Westlife, Namie Amuro, EXILE, and Armin van Buuren. Razor Boy’s listed catalogue demonstrates a geographically broad publishing strategy. In addition to English-language releases in the United States and United Kingdom, the company has been connected with songs released in Japan and other Asian markets, including recordings by Kumi Koda, EXILE, KAT-TUN, Hey! Say! JUMP, Girls’ Generation, Namie Amuro, and EXO. The company states that, since its establishment, its repertoire has generated number-one singles and albums in the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, and other countries. No independently verified current financial information, employee count, corporate-group affiliation, or detailed present-day roster is provided in the available reference material.

Razor Boy Music Publishing was established in Sweden on 1 June 2008 by Fredrik Olsson. From its beginning, the company was organized as an independent music-publishing operation rather than a recording label. Olsson retained ownership and responsibility for the company’s creative and administrative activities, while music producer and songwriter Anders Bagge participated as a silent partner and co-owner. The company’s model centers on signing or contracting songwriters and producers, developing their compositions, and representing the resulting copyrights in recordings released by performers in different territories. This approach allows the company to participate in a wide range of commercial releases without presenting itself as the primary artist-facing record company. Its reported roster has included the Nervo Twins, Jo Perry, Didrik Thott, and roughly ten other writers and producers. A major part of Razor Boy’s profile comes from the international reach of its writers’ work. Mim and Liv Nervo are associated with “When Love Takes Over,” recorded by David Guetta featuring Kelly Rowland, and with songs recorded by Kesha, Kylie Minogue, the Pussycat Dolls, Miley Cyrus, and Armin van Buuren. Jo Perry’s work includes songs for Loick Essien, Peter Andre, Cheryl Cole, and Union J. Perry also wrote the songs for Stooshe’s early repertoire cited in the company profile, including “Love Me” and “Black Heart.” The latter became one of the notable UK hits of the 2012–2013 period. Didrik Thott expanded the company’s visible international writing footprint through credits connected with artists such as Celine Dion, Westlife, Namie Amuro, EXILE, and Armin van Buuren. Other catalogue entries demonstrate activity in Japanese and Korean pop markets, with publishing credits associated with Kumi Koda, KAT-TUN, Hey! Say! JUMP, Girls’ Generation, Namie Amuro, and EXO. The company has also been linked to dance releases by Armin van Buuren and pop releases by David Guetta, Kesha, Kylie Minogue, Cheryl Cole, Celine Dion, Stooshe, and Union J. Razor Boy states that its catalogue has produced numerous number-one singles and albums in the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, and other countries since the company’s launch. The available reference material does not provide a complete chronology of corporate changes, acquisitions, offices, financial results, or current roster developments. It also does not establish whether the company remains independently operated under the same ownership beyond the ownership and management description supplied for the company profile.
