Over the past decade, Simon Wilcox has always placed an emphasis on forming strong personal relationships with her professional partners. \u201cTrue trust and friendship are hard to come by in the industry,\u201d Wilcox says, \u201cbut they\u2019re everything. You won\u2019t give 100 percent creatively unless you absolutely love your team.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was the driving force behind the L.A.-based songwriter and recording artist\u2019s decision to ink a worldwide enhanced administration deal between her publishing company, Fun Cooker, and peermusic Canada Inc. in January 2012, at the urging of longtime friend and supporter, Cheryl Link, peermusic\u2019s Director of Synchronization and Creative.<\/p>\n

The two first met at the North by Northeast conference in Toronto 12 years ago. Shortly thereafter, Link loaned Wilcox the money to press her first album,\u00a0Mongrel of Love<\/em>\u00a0(1999), acted as her manager for a time and, while working at BMG Music Publishing Canada Inc. in the early 2000s, attempted to broker a deal between Wilcox and BMG. They\u2019ve literally grown up in the industry together.<\/p>\n

\u201cI consider her my best friend,\u201d Link says. \u201cWe can be completely honest with each other. But we\u2019re also providing the deal she was looking for \u2013 ensuring her copyrights revert to her, and that she not be subject to delivery requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cReally, what was instrumental in going with peermusic was Cheryl,\u201d says Wilcox. \u201cI know she believes in me and if I\u2019m going to win, or lose, I want to do it with her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Personal connections have always been integral to her career, Wilcox insists, particularly those developed following her 2003 signing to EMI April Music Canada Ltd., a partnership that led to collaborations with Grammy-nominated Quebec duo, Beast, The Trews, Three Days Grace and Quebec singer\/cellist, Jorane on \u201cStay\u201d \u2013 which garnered Wilcox her first SOCAN No. 1 Song Award in 2005. \u201cEMI were instrumental in my career. I wouldn\u2019t be here without them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Wilcox felt very much at home at EMI, changes at the company \u2013 including President Michael McCarty\u2019s move to ole \u2013 left her shaken. When the deal ended in 2011, she was hesitant to sign with anyone. \u201cI was gun-shy, so I just wrote songs for a year, but at the end of that year Cheryl was, like, \u2018Okay. C\u2019mon now. I\u2019ve waited long enough,\u2019\u201d she says, laughing.<\/p>\n

Currently, Wilcox and Shridhar Solanki (PRS) are preparing to release their first full-length independent album as Cider Sky, tentatively scheduled for release this summer. As a writer, Wilcox is experiencing truly global success with tracks such as \u201cNorthern Lights,\u201d featured on the\u00a0Twilight Saga-Breaking Dawn Pt. 1<\/em>\u00a0soundtrack, and \u201cBlackout,\u201d from Breathe Carolina\u2019s 2011 record,\u00a0Hell Is What You Make It<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 both of which have achieved certified gold status (500,000 sold) in the U.S.
