“[TwentySeven founders] Barry [Weiss] and Jenna [Andrews] continue to be first-rate creative partners for Sony/ATV and I’m eager to continue our work together”, says Sony/ATV CEO Jon Platt. “It is also an honour to support the career of Jimmie Allen, as he continues to break down barriers in music and inspire a new generation of fans”.
Weiss and Andrews add: “We’re delighted to continue our relationship with our partners at Sony/ATV – Jon Platt and [SVP A&R] Jake Fain are model partners. Jimmie Allen is a generational talent that has a huge career ahead of him. He’s just getting started”.
Allen himself, meanwhile, says: “I have been a fan of Barry Weiss for years. I’ve seen the great artists he has worked with and is working with. Super fired up about signing with his company.
