Keli Holiday has been rewarded for his sensational breakout period with an exclusive global publishing agreement with BMG. 

Announced today, the agreement formalises the ongoing partnership between BMG and Adam Hyde, the man behind Keli Holiday, following his success with Peking Duk and BMG's involvement in the early phases of his Holiday project. 

Holiday's Dancing2" single became a viral hit in 2025, holding the top spot on TikTok Australia's Viral Chart for consecutive weeks. 

The song quickly gained momentum elsewhere, topping the ARIA Australian Singles Chart, hitting No. 7 in New Zealand, and reaching No. 2 on triple j's Hottest 100 of 2025 countdown. 

“Dancing2” featured on Holiday's second album, Capital Fiction, which hit No. 3 on the ARIA Albums Chart. 

“I'm so stoked to be signing with BMG,” Holiday says. "I've been lucky enough to know the whole crew for quite a while, and the one thing I know more than anything is that BMG know how to push music but, more importantly, they care about music.

"To be part of a family like that is a true honour, and I can't wait to see what we do in the future together.

“The music we've got cooking now is more exciting than anything I've ever made, and I can't wait to work it with the most enthusiastic I've ever met.” 

Heath Johns, President, Australia, New Zealand & South-East Asia, BMG, adds, "Keli Holiday is one of the most refreshing and impactful Australian projects we've seen in a long time. As ‘Dancing2’ took over social scrolls and radio waves with a rare vitality, Adam was steadily building an incredible new album in ‘Capital Fiction’ that has immense international appeal and will be backed by extensive global touring. 

“At BMG, we're committed to championing culturally resonant artists and helping their music reach audiences worldwide. Keli's voice is one that is ready to echo across the world, and we can't wait to turn the volume up.” 

BMG publishing roster already features Australian and New Zealand talent like Neil Finn, Chet Faker, Wolfmother, The Cat Empire, and Ladyhawke.
