With their first singing, Giant Music Publishing—a division of The Azoff Company and the new venture launched by Irving and Jeffrey Azoff with Shawn Holiday—has inked Grammy-winning producer DJ SwanQo.
The deal is in partnership with Cardi B collaborator Pardison Fontaine's publishing company, St. Lukes Publishing, with Warner Chappell Music handling admin for DJ SwanQo's works.
SwanQo co-wrote and co-produced Cardi B's most recent #1, "Up," and has production credits on her Grammy-winning debut album, Invasion of Privacy. Fontaine is a longtime collaborator of Cardi whose credits include "WAP" and Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage."
“We couldn’t be prouder to represent someone as gifted as SwanQo,” Shawn Holiday said. “His undeniable talent, artistic drive and authenticity sets him apart from others and makes our first signing that much sweeter. We have big plans for him and we are all looking forward to the many successes I know we’ll share with him.”
WCM Co-Chair/CEO, Guy Moot, and President of A&R, U.S., Ryan Press, shared, “When Shawn and the Azoff team brought SwanQo to us it was an easy decision. Swanqo is one of the best beatmakers in the game with a long list of top hits. We are looking forward to supporting his incredible work along with his partner Pardison and Giant.”
