06/15/2023 by Press Release
“Me Feel Good… a music we a duh from long time and me hard work is finally paying off!!” dis is just the start!!... Drift … a suh we F+@K up in yah!!”
Just a short while ago in Manhattan at Warner Music Group, Guy Moot (Co-Chair and CEO of Warner Chappell Music), inked dancehall’s biggest deal for the year with the Uptop Boss from the Solid Agency camp: Timoy “TEEJAY” Jones.
Moot says he is happy to see dancehall music and another Jamaican artist in this context and on the global rise. It’s the right artist with the right music and the right time. The co-chair has been influential with Jamaicans over two decades having worked with Steely & Clevie, Stefflon Don and having been integral in Stephen ‘Di Genius’ McGregor’s career.
TeeJay has the song of the summer – Drift which is viral on TikTok with over 20 million views on Songstats and Myriad dance challenges. Drift has blown up internationally with the biggest numbers in London, New York, Atlanta and Africa. With a major deal like this one and Warner Music machinery behind him, the artiste’s music will be exposed to sync rights, gaming and sky is the limit.
Solid Agency boss Sharon Burke chuckles that the deal was only two weeks in the making after sifting through Myriad offers and finally feeling at home with Warner: “TeeJay will do well because he is a good artist who is committed to the music and the journey to the top.”
