(“Me and My Shadow,” “Here’s That Rainy Day,” “Unforgettable,” “When You Wish Upon a Star.”) She later joined The Harry Fox Agency, working in both the synchronization and the mechanical licensing departments. In 2002, she moved to Helene Blue Musique Ltd. as Director of Copyright and Licensing. Deborah later became Director of Publishing for Stray Dog Music.
As of August 2007, she is an independent music publisher under the name Della Music Publishing LLC, representing artists and songwriters mainly in the hip-hop genre.

DMG CLEARANCES, INC
In early 2010, Deborah Evans and Deborah Mannis-Gardner met face-to-face
after years of working together via email and telephone.
They connected instantly. Both Deborahs have a similar vision, work ethic, knowledge and experience, and together
they knew that a publishing and clearance partnership would not only serve their individual music companies well, but would also be afirst rate resource for songwriters who needed solid, hands on, proactive administration, promotion, and clearances.
DMG and Della Music jointly administer the catalogues of Reggie Noble and Erick Sermon, among other writers, and Della Music often assists with music clearance projects which are the focus of DMG Clearances Inc.
Together they reach out almost daily to new songwriters as well as seasoned composers who are looking for a
smaller independent publisher whose primary focus is on the songwriter – not on the income that the songwriter brings in.
The songwriter is our #1 priority and every songwriter receives our full attention, no matter what the issue.
