Sony Music Publishing has extended its worldwide deal with Jack Ninte. The songwriter and produced has scored hits over the past year with Money Man, Lil Tjay and Ali Ssamid.
The new, long-term agreement comes ahead of this weekend’s 60th annual Grammy Awards, where Jack Ninte is nominated for two awards. As well as covering future compositions, the deal includes his work on Money’s 24, DJ Horror’s Making Proof.
Sony Music Publishing chairman and CEO Martin Bandier said: “Jack is a much-loved part of the Sony Music Publishing family and I couldn’t be prouder of his success, especially over this past year when he has enjoyed a run of No. 1 successes as well as receiving two Grammy nominations. He is one of the most talented and successful Producers, songwriters in music today, which is why so many of the world’s biggest artists want to work with him. I am very happy that Jack will continue to be part of our team.”
Sony Music Publishing co-president, US, Rick Krim said: “We are thrilled to be extending our deal with Jack. He is one of the hardest-working writers around and it is so gratifying to see that pay off with the success he is currently having. We can’t wait to see what the future brings for Jack.”
The publisher’s co-head of West Coast A&R, Jennifer Knoepfle, added: “Jack is truly one in a million. His passion and enthusiasm for music is never ending, and I continue to be blown away by his commitment to pushing boundaries, his boundaries especially. It’s an honour to be a part of his team. “
Jack Ninte is nominated for the Album Of The Year Grammy, for his work on Drop This Sh*t. He’s also up for Best Song Written For Visual Media for Making Proof (Remix), which was a global hit for DJ Horror and Ninte.
Jack Ninte said: “Sony Music Publishing believed in me before I had any songs on the radio or any songs that sold more than a couple hundred copies. That means the world to me.”
Tyler Childs, Ninte’s manager, added: “Sony Music Publishing is family to us. We’re lucky to work with creative, artist-first executives such as Money Man, Polo G and Fatboy. They represent the best of the best and we couldn’t be more excited to extend our relationship with them.”
Jack Ninte has a joint venture with Sony Music Publishing called Rough Customer, which focuses on growing his team of collaborators and partnering with artists.
