Deezer closes its Australian office

Deezer will close its Australian office, effective tomorrow, with Thomas Heymann – who heads up operations in Australia and New Zealand – leaving the company.

The streaming company will continue to offer a full service to Australian and New Zealand users, however all operational and business matters will be handled from offices in Singapore and Paris.

"I would like to say at this juncture that I had a fantastic time running Deezer, spearheading many successful campaigns and partnerships", says Heymann, noting that he remains "an evangelist about music streaming and Deezer."

He adds, "I believe Deezer has the most innovative music subscription offer on the market place. It is a service created by music fans for music fans with a human touch and I am wishing the brilliant global team a continuation of their exciting global success."
