His latest hit "10,000 Reasons" (performed by Matt Redman), went platinum and recently spent 15 consecutive weeks at No.1 on the Christian AC Chart. The song also earned two Grammys, five Doves and a Billboard Music Award for Top Christian Song. Myrin has additionally achieved international success as a solo artist with numerous hits including "Day of the Battle," which went gold in Europe. Based in Los Angeles, he is actively songwriting and working on his American debut album as an artist.

"I have known Jonas and been a big fan of his for years, and it's going to be creatively very exciting to finally work closer with him on his pop music career. There are really special things ahead for him, and I could not be happier that he has chosen Universal Music Publishing as his home," said Lamberg.

"Jonas Myrin's ability to work so effectively with writers and ministries from every part of the world and every aspect of Christian music and the church has been remarkable to watch over the past decade. His success has been unprecedented, and for the first time he will now have the reach of a global music publisher in his corner. We are humbled to be a part of that team and know the best is still yet to come from Jonas," said Hearn.

Peter York, President of CCMG, added: "Jonas Myrin is so highly respected by our Capitol CMG A&R staff, producers and artists both at the label and in publishing. He has successfully contributed vital songs on many of our existing records, and we are excited to work with him to resource the global community of faith with his songs that impact lives."

"My dream has always been to touch hearts through my music in every sphere of life. I'm so grateful for this unique publishing partnership with UMPG and Capitol to carry out this mission. The sky truly has no limits when given the opportunity to work with two of the finest music executives in the world, Lamberg and Hearn in one dynamic team," said Myrin.

In addition, Myrin has penned numerous hit pop songs for successful international recording artists, including Natasha Bedingfield, Latin Grammy Award-winner Christian Chavez, and the world No.1 album for Japanese act Tohoshinki (a.k.a.
