Warner Bros. Records Inks Joint Venture With R&R Records

Getting Some R&R

WARNER BROS. RECORDS (WBR) has entered into a joint venture with R&R RECORDS. R&R was launched in 2016 with the goal of providing an alternative approach for independent artists, focusing on an aggressive digital strategy, introducing artists such as MT. JOY and SORCHA RICHARDSON. The first two signings under the new R&R/WBR deal are singer/songwriters DIJON and WENS.

“I’ve been following BEN and MASON’s careers for years now and I’ve been impressed by the level of artists and songwriters they’ve been championing, on both the management and label sides," WBR Co-Chairman/CEO AARON BAY-SCHUCK said. "They have great taste, an authentic approach, and a clear vision of what R&R represents. DIJON and WENS are compelling, original voices and fantastic artists to kick off our partnership. TOM CORSON and I are thrilled to welcome R&R into the WBR family.”

“Through this partnership, we’re excited to establish a global presence and offer our artists more comprehensive support," R&R founders BEN PERSKY and MASON KLEIN said. "AARON and TOM have been encouraging of our vision from the beginning, and we love what they’re doing at WARNER BROS. They have an amazing team, and it’s an exciting place to grow talent. We’re incredibly proud to launch our joint venture with DIJON and WENS, two artists whom we feel represent the ethos and direction of R&R.”
