About us

Since 1972, Omnibus Press has been the first word in music publishing. Established as an independent publisher within the family-run Wise Music Group, our name – meaning “for all” – reflects our passion for every sound, scene, and story that shapes the world of music.

We publish stories from the stage, dancefloor, studio, and beyond — capturing the artists, movements, and moments that define our shared musical culture. From beautifully illustrated coffee table books to compelling biographies, autobiographies, and explorations of the ever-evolving music industry, we remain where music’s greatest stories are told.
