Ultra Music Inks Global Agreement With Color Study In Joint Venture Deal

Color Study Joins Ultra Family

ULTRA MUSIC  has inked a global label joint-venture deal with COLOR STUDY, focusing on releases and artist development in personal-pop and emerging folk-leaning music. The label from artist manager SPENCER KELLEY launched with “Eight,” the new single from HAUX featuring ROSIE CARNEY, alongside the official music video for CHARLI ADAMS'’ “Backseat." The name COLOR STUDY comes from a painting by WASSILY KANDINSKY.

ULTRA MUSIC President PATRICK MOXEY said, “We are looking forward to charting new territory with COLOR STUDY.  We’ve always had a love for songwriting and its mastery. It’s been the foundation of many of our most successful releases. With COLOR STUDY, we get to explore more into the craft while at the same time work with SPENCER on utilizing all our resources starting with our creative department on doing some amazing content. To me, this is magic.” 

Added KELLEY, “I started working with ULTRA while managing HAUX in 2016, and from the beginning what stood out to me is how long many of the employees have been a part of the company. It’s a supportive atmosphere where they respect the artists' personal needs and put a refreshing amount of care into comprehensive, creative visions. As COLOR STUDY has grown, I’ve been interested in building a label side to further support our artists. When PATRICK, DAVID [ULTRA GM WAXMAN] and I started discussing a joint venture, it was a natural fit and I’m excited to pair our roster with their experience, team and resources.”

ULTRA MUSIC GM DAVID WAXMAN added, “After signing his management client HAUX to ULTRA, we saw how knowledgeable SPENCER was in a genre of music that the label has not yet tapped into, so creating the COLOR STUDY imprint together with him felt like a natural progression.  Starting with incredible artists HENRY JAMISON, HAUX, ROSIE CARNEY AND CHARLI ADAMS, the launch of COLOR STUDY will be opening an exciting new chapter for ULTRA.”
