BMG Signs Velvet Trip to Global Publishing Deal

SYDNEY, Australia — Velvet Trip has signed an exclusive global publishing agreement with BMG.

Velvet Trip is the dreamy, psychedelic-pop project of Zeppelin Hamilton , the Wiradjuri singer, songwriter and producer, an act with two appearances on the ARIA Albums Chart and a growing fanbase.

The BMG deal caps a year of good vibrations for Velvet Trip.

In February, the act landed an APRA Professional Development Award, in recognition of his creative achievements and future potential, and scored an ARIA Top 40 appearance with Glimmers Continued , its second album.

Glimmers Continued got the Feature Album treatment on triple j and went on to debut at No.

33 on the all-genres national ARIA Chart and at No.

5 on the Australian Artist Albums chart.

Velvet Trip’s first LP, Harmony Blooms , peaked at No.

19 in 2024.

Last year, the outfit won a spot as one of the triple j Unearthed x NIDA competition winners, earning a music video (for “Burnin’g’ Up”) created by NIDA student directors and designers.

Velvet Trip finished 2025 as the most-played artist across the triple j Unearthed platform.

“I’m honored to be working alongside the amazing team at BMG across the globe,” Zeppelin Hamilton remarks.

“I’ve been a huge fan of their roster from afar for many years, so it’s a real pinch-myself moment to now be partnering with them and to be considered alongside the world-class artists they represent.” Financial terms weren’t disclosed.

Hamilton is honing a reputation as a must-see live performer, selling out headline shows at Sydney Opera House’s Utzon Room and Melbourne’s Northcote Social Club.
