Following his Album of the Year win at the GRAMMYs and Super Bowl halftime show performance, Bad Bunny has extended his hot streak by re-signing his publishing deal with Rimas. The Puerto Rico-founded company represents more than 150 creators including more renewals with writers and producers like Mora, Cris MJ, Tempo, Cheo Legendary and others.

Kentucky native Tyler Booth has announced the formation of his team with The Erv Woolsey Company signing on for management as well as locking in a JV record deal with Jamey Johnson’s Big Gassed Records and Average Joes Entertainment. The singer-songwriter has toured with Brantley Gilbert, Darius Rucker & others and is slated to release new music very soon.

In their first-ever major label deal, duo SOFI TUKKER has signed with Republic Records. Their first release via the new agreement was last week’s collaboration with J Balvin, ‘COOK.’ Their management company Animal Talk formed last summer in a partnership with Palm Tree Management.

Acclaimed Canadian pop artist elijah woods has signed with Simkin Artist Management for global representation, partnering with Jonathan Simkin and Isaac Markinson. A multi-platinum, four-time JUNO Award–nominated singer-songwriter and producer, woods has built a formidable solo career with over one billion streams, multiple gold and platinum certifications, and sold-out tours across Canada, Europe, and Asia.
New Zealand pop duo Balu Brigada announced their signing to independent music publisher Kobalt. The brothers Henry and Pierre Beasley released their debut album, Portal, last year via Warner Music Australia/Atlantic.
After their recent signing of Kanye West for his upcoming album, gamma. has now locked in a deal with his daughter North West. Her first single ‘PIERCING ON MY HAND’ dropped on Friday, produced by Ye and Will Frenchman. The company also added pop artist Olivia O’Brien to their roster.
