Creativity is The Power To Act

Snap-B Music is an international media and music company with offices in Britain and the Netherlands. It was founded in 2013 as a partnership between British rock manager and writer Simon Napier-Bell and Dutch artist and business affairs manager Björn de Water.

Music-wise, the company offers four things – consultancy (to artists, managers or stakeholders) – music publishing, music sync/song placement and rights management. Occasionally we make exceptions and manage artists ourselves as we did for the legendary Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor.

Björn de Water (Rotterdam, 1977) has had 20 years experience as a manager of artists in the Netherlands and the USA and worked with various platinum acts like Delinquent Habits / Kemo The Blaxican (USA), Sinéad O’Connor (IE), Postmen (NL), Lucien Foort (NL), Feis (NL) and advised many others. This ‘Dutch American’ globetrotter currently resides in the Netherlands but will be pleased to meet you anywhere. A cup of tea at the London Ritz, or a greasy hotdog in New York’s Central Park? Björn is your man.

Simon Napier-Bell (London, 1939) has been a manager since the 1960s, looking after artists such as the Yardbirds, T.Rex, Wham! (George Michael), Marc Bolan, Japan, Asia and Ultravox. He has also written hit songs, including ‘You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me’, for Dusty Springfield and Elvis Presley.

As of September 2017 Snap-B welcomed UK/USA subdivision Snap-B Sync, a company specialised in music synchronisation for film, TV, commercials and advertisements. It is headed by Björn de Water and is focused on the North and South American market.

After just 2 years Snap-B Sync currently represents over 4.000 songs. Snap-B Sync secured the latest Starbucks campaign with the song #NoFilter which is written and produced by The Prime, as well as two new songs placements for General Mills for the North American territory.

As of November 2017 Napier-Bell stepped down as a director and is now serving as an executive consultant for the company. Besides remaining a valuable asset to our company (and the greatest mentor and friend one could ever wish for!) he’s also working on some great films. His latest movies 50 Years Legal and 27 Gone Too Soon received rave reviews all over the world.
