Extreme sign Darkchild
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 6 March 2009
Sony/ATV’s Extreme Music production division has signed Grammy winning songwriter and producer Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jenkins, who will work as an executive producer for the publisher on nine albums.
Confirming his new deal, Jenkins told reporters: “It’s an honour to be grouped in with such a prestigious list of composers as [other Extreme-signed producers] Quincy [Jones], and Hans Zimmer. Extreme Music has become a juggernaut in its field and I am very excited to be a part of its family”.
Extreme co-CEO Russell Emanuel added: “It’s common knowledge throughout the industry that Rodney is blessed with golden ears. His pedigree speaks for itself and the hit-maker gene runs deep in his DNA. His genius continues to wreak havoc on the music charts and we can’t wait for it to do the same for Extreme”.
