The announcement includes the signing of renowned recording duo Busby Marou; songwriter, producer and musician Jerome Farah; a partnership with Medium Rare Recordings that starts with the release of Stace Cadet ft KLP’s Energy; a joint venture label deal with Jarrad Rogers’ NOiZE Recordings with Ashwarya as the label’s first signing; and a renewed partnership with Los Angeles-based songwriting and management company Milk & Honey.

Sony Music also confirmed the success of the Artists Unite For Fire Fight: Concert For National Bushfire Relief charity album, following its # 1 chart debut and 12 weeks in the top 40. $320,000 has been raised from the sale of the album to date and all proceeds are being donated to Sony Foundation Australia to go towards directly supporting young Australians in bushfire affected communities.
