The Mayor of London Boris Johnson today welcomed the announcement that the international headquarters for the new Global Repertoire Database will be based in the London.<\/p>\n

The Global Repertoire Database (GRD) is a project to catalogue the world\u2019s music. The London HQ is set to open later this year, with an operations centre also due to open in Berlin.<\/p>\n

Johnson said: \u201cIt’s fantastic news that the Global Repertoire Database will be headquartered in London. A system that makes it easier for music creators to get paid has to be a good thing. This will make the licensing process more efficient, which should benefit all stakeholders, from the writers to the publishers and the fans themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs well as being at the forefront of copyright law, the capital is one of the world’s greatest music cities, with a thriving music scene and major industry players already based here. I can think of no more suitable location for the headquarters of this prestigious international organisation.\u201d<\/p>\n

GRD has been supported by the Mayor\u2019s promotional organisation London & Partners which offers free and impartial advice to the businesses looking to establish office in the UK\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

Gordon Innes, CEO of London & Partners said: \u201cWe are delighted the GRD\u2019s new headquarters will be in London. This is just another milestone for London\u2019s creative business sector and cements London\u2019s status as a global hub for the music industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur capital continues to play home to some of the most inspiring musicians, music technicians and recording studio and GRD\u2019s decision to make London their home should be welcome news to them too.\u201d<\/p>\n
