ORiGiN™ is all about originality, diversity and creativity.

The ORiGiN™ businesses are a partnership between ‘the two Philips’ – Walker and Mortlock. Between them they have decades of experience in all facets of the music business.
 
Being an Australian owned independent operation gives ORiGiN™ its flexibility as the business continues to evolve and change. The fundamentals that don’t change are that creative people need understanding, considered, experienced and reliable services to manage their works and seek and find opportunity. The team at ORiGiN™ – and its chosen local and international network – provides a solid, reliable and personalized service to its wonderful variety of artists, composers, catalogues and clients.

ORiGiN™ is 100% Independent.
 
Having re-established a fully independent infrastructure to manage the ORiGiN™ Music Publishing catalogue and its sub published catalogues we now have the skills of Megan Turner as our Copyright & Royalty Manager. Megan  has a wealth of experience in the music business and is ably supported by Dannielle Callaghan with the administration of publishing & label services.
 
Working with Philip Mortlock on the Creative and Licensing agenda is Nick Young. Nick has been with ORiGiN™ now for over seven years and was previously with Warners (Warner Music Australia), Zomba and Mds.
Assisting with Marketing and Communications is Amber Quin who has been with the ORiGiN™ Group since 2014 and started with ORiGiN™ Music Publishing in 2021.
