The sheer number of artist signings announced on a weekly basis makes it difficult to keep up, no matter how closely one pays attention to the industry news cycle. That’s why every other Tuesday, Billboard compiles the latest signings to labels, distributors, agencies, management companies and more, in an effort to provide a snapshot of the latest moves in the artist space, from household names to indie stars to emerging acts.
This week’s roundup includes new deals for artists including Nigerian Afrobeats star Asake; R&B singer (and former B2K lead vocalist) Omarion; Japanese singer Yuki Chiba; legendary hip-hop DJ Grandmaster Flash; British rockers The Struts; Argentine duo CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso; aughts rockers Jack’s Mannequin; and Canadian singer-songwriter Johnny Orlando. Companies represented on the list include Double Eleven, Create Music Group, Warner Music Japan, Primary Wave, KMG Distribution, UTA, ONrpm and Position Music.
First up this week is Afrobeats star Asake, who signed with Alexa Perkins‘ management and creative agency Double Eleven. According to a press release, the Nigerian singer-songwriter has racked up more than 5.6 billion streams to date. His third studio album, Lungu Boy, was released last year, with the release noting that it currently ranks among the top 20 most streamed Nigerian albums of all time. This summer, he announced the release of his fourth studio album, MONEY, on his newly launched label, Giran Republic. Shortly after that, he was featured on Gunna’s track “satisfaction” off the rapper’s album The Last Wun.
