WARNER/CHAPPELL MUSIC has extended its worldwide publishing agreement with songwriter, producer, and recording artist TERIUS NASH AKA THE-DREAM, reports WARNER MUSIC GROUP.
THE-DREAM is renowned for composing such hits as RIHANNA's "UMBRELLA", BEYONCE's "SINGE LADIES", and JUSTIN BIEBER's "BABY." NASH has also been successful with his own critically acclaimed albums IV PLAY, TERIUS NASH and THE LOVE TRILOGY. He recently announced the release of his latest EP, ROYALTY: THE PREQUEL, which is the first release on his new label CONTRA-PARIS. Under the agreement WARNER/CHAPPELL MUSIC will continue to publish THE-DREAM's entire catalog of music.
THE DREAM said, "It's a great day. I feel we have unified the family overall and we all have a concrete goal in mind, which is making great music. None of this is possible without a dream, and as big as my dreams are, no dream is possible without GOD. I'd like to thank big JON for showing up as a Lord as well as my team--MARK STEWART, CHAKA PILGRIM, and MERCK "MM" MERCURIADIS. I would also like to thank the millions of fans that take me into their hearts and homes, whether it's my personal music as THE-DREAM, or through my catalog filled with family and friends. I thank BEYONCE and JAY for being family, trusting my thoughts beyond just the words and allowing my impact on their presence. And to RIHANNA for trusting me to be me and be the glue that held albums together. Thank you to RYAN PRESS who believes in me and also my entire WARNER/CHAPPELL family. La Famila."
Pres/NORTH AMERICA WARNER CHAPPELL MUSIC JON PLATT added, "THE-DREAM has written some of modern pop's most influential hits and is responsible for career defining collaborations with one superstar after another. He's that rarity in our business--a genuine triple threat--a brilliant songwriter, an ace producer, and a compelling artist in his own right. We are happy to continue working with such a gifted and prolific talent and we look forward to the next chapter in his career."
THE-DREAMS work has been honored with top industry accolades including THE GRAMMYS for Song of the year, ("UMBRELLA" and "SINGLE LADIES", Best Rap Song (KANYE WEST's "ALL OF THE LIGHTS", and JAY Z's "HOLY GRAIL"), among many others.
