Believe label announces new signings
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 15 July 2014
Believe Recordings, the sister label to the Believe Digital distribution business, has announced no less than seven new signings, who will benefit from deals which, Believe says, “enable artists more input, flexibility and scope in their releases”.
The new signings are Fyfe, Andreas Moe, Aquilo, Esse, The Age of Luna and Meadowlark, plus Believe has announced a joint venture with Good Soldier, the new music company from former Warner Music UK chief Christian Tattersfield, with the two firms working together with Irish singer songwriter Gavin James. The Believe label hopes to replicate the successes it has had with, amongst others, James Vincent McMorrow and, on their debut EP, Bastille, with the new singings.
Stephen King, now Chief International Officer of Believe Digital, and founder of the Believe label, told CMU: “Believe’s A&R team have identified a crop of really talented young acts that we are able to promote and expose with the promotion teams’ key understanding of the digital market. Having now established Believe Recordings as an exciting label for exceptional new music, our recent signings are set to follow on from the success we’ve had with James Vincent McMorrow and Bastille”.
