The crew behind Big Family yuks it up while figuring out they need a bigger couch.

Songwriters Julian Bunetta and John Ryan, who have written for and produced One Direction, David Guetta, Thomas Rhett and others, have created Big Family in partnership with Big Deal Music Group.

Based in Los Angeles, former SYCO GM Damon Bunetta and Big Deal partner Casey Robison will be co-CEOs of the new enterprise owned by Julian Bunetta, Ryan, Big Deal Music Group and the Bunettas’ Family Affair Productions. The Bunettas’ father, Peter, who also has an ownership stake in Family Affair, has had a decades-long relationship with Big Deal CEO Kenny Macpherson.

“We’ve worked with Kenny, Casey and the entire team at Big Deal for many years now and are thrilled to take this step to formalize a deeper relationship with them under the Big Family banner,” said Damon Bunetta. “The formation of Big Family ensures that we can continue to do what we love with the support we need to grow our community and provide the highest level of creative service available in our industry.”

Big Family will operate out of the Bunettas’ complex in Calabasas and West Hollywood as well as the Big Deal offices in Encino.

MacPherson noted, “Julian, John, Casey and Damon have created a very special, incredibly creative community of songwriters who collectively are producing some of the biggest hits in the world. With Casey and Damon at the helm of this new enterprise, Big Family will continue to discover and nurture the hit songwriters of the future.”
