History

2008-2009: Formation

In 2008 Danquah signed a joint venture publishing deal with EMI Music Publishing to create Takeover/Cloud 9, a global publishing company in partnership with EMI.[1]

2009-2010

In 2009, Takeover/Cloud 9 became the publishing arm for all musicians and record producers of Takeover Entertainment. The singles from the certified Gold studio album, Catch 22: "Take Me Back", and #1's "Never Leave You", and the N-Dubz collaboration "Number 1", were all published by Takeover/Cloud 9.[1]

2010-present

In June 2010, Takeover Entertainment went into business with Jay-Z by signing a joint venture with Jay-Z's Roc Nation to create a European record label and entertainment company.[2] The new company was named Takeover Roc Nation. By this, Takeover/Cloud 9 also became the music publishing arm for Takeover Roc Nation.[2]
