Warner Chappell Music has inked an exclusive admin deal with BLXST. In partnership with Evgle, the agreement covers all past and future work, including gold-certified “Chosen” f/Ty Dolla $ign &Tyga. WCM and Evgle have also entered into a new joint venture for future signings.
“BLXST has exploded onto the scene this year with a sound and artistry that expertly blends genres, and he’s quickly become a breakout talent to watch as we head into 2022,” said WCM President, North America, Ryan Press.
“I’m excited to have Ryan and Warner Chappell in our corner as Evgle enters a new chapter in the realm of publishing. Our partnership will allow me to continue to create at a high level as well as scale our operation,” added BLXST.
“2022 is set to be a huge year of growth for Evgle Publishing, and Warner Chappell made it clear that they saw the vision from a creative and business standpoint,” said Evgle President, Victor Burnett.
“Throughout this process, the team at Warner Chappell has shown that they are excited to invest in BLXST and Evgle,” shared Evgle Partner and Attorney, Karl Fowlkes.
Hailing from L.A., BLXST gained attention in 2014 by producing Hitta J3’s “Do Yo Gudda (Remix)” f/Kendrick Lamar, YG and Problem. He dropped his debut single in 2016, launched Evgle in 2018 and amassed 20m+ in 2019 on “Hurt” before he released his 2020 breakout EP No Love Lost and its expanded deluxe version.
