BIG "DRIVERS" CHASE OLIVIA PUB DEAL

Much of the publishing world is said to be in the contest to ink bona fide phenom Olivia Rodrigo, with UMPG believed to have the inside track. Rodrigo is managed by Kristen Smith, who we hear goes way back with Uni pub boss Jody Gerson, and repped for legal by Kelly Vallon at Ziffren Brittenham. The young singer/songwriter and High School Musical star has 50% of her monster Geffen track “drivers license,” and insiders say she has 50-100% of several other strong compositions.
