Primary Wave signs Dave Navarro

By | Published on Friday 19 July 2019

Music rights firm Primary Wave has formed a multi-layered partnership with Dave Navarro off of Jane’s Addiction. The deal sees the firm take an interest in Navarro’s publishing catalogue, and also other revenues linked to the recordings he has appeared on and the writer’s share income on his songs.

As well as being guitarist in Jane’s Addiction, Navarro had a stint in Red Hot Chili Peppers in the mid-1990s, of course. He has also had a couple of solo releases and appeared on a wide range of other artist’s tracks, with various acting and telly projects along the way too.

Commenting on the new deal, Navarro said: “When I partnered up with Primary Wave, the first question they asked was ‘So, where would you like to see your music being heard?’ I had never before been asked for my artistic input from a corporate entity and I was instantly relieved to know that I had finally found a home for my catalogue”.

Meanwhile, the music firm’s boss Lawrence Mestel added: “We are honoured to have a legendary artist such as Dave join our growing Primary Wave family. Dave’s accomplishments speak for themselves. His contributions to Jane’s Addiction and Red Hot Chili Peppers left an indelible impression, influencing future generations of musicians”.
