Business News Deals Management & Funding
Bieber manager signs Cody Simpson
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 28 September 2011
Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun – possibly aware that, despite all expectations to the contrary, the Biebster is growing up – has signed another pop teen phenomenon in the making.
Fourteen year old Aussie Cody Simpson – who, strangely, already looks older than Bieber – has signed a worldwide management deal with Braun as he starts to promote his new EP, released via Warner’s Atlantic Records. Presumably plans are already afoot for an album, a movie, a book and a headphone range, all leading up to what every teenage boy surely aspires to achieve these days, the perfume range.
Like Bieber, Simpson first came to the attention of some key movers and shakers in the US music business via YouTube videos of his performances. It was producer Shawn Campbell who first discovered the aspiring pop star on the internet.
