You’ve got to hand it to Jacob Butler… He must be one of the hardest working, most dedicated musicians in the game – and he’s had an altogether spectacular past 18 months.
He placed first in the AAA category (adult album alternative) in the 2012 Unsigned Only song competition – the world’s largest independent songwriting competition – inked deals throughout many European territories with both German indie label Very Us Records and global giant Universal Music. He also signed with South African label The David Gresham Company earlier last year before signing with EMI Greece and the prestigious V2 label to release his track ‘Mind Waltz’ in Belgium, The Netherlands and in Luxembourg.
And to top it all off, he’s just signed a brand new deal here at home too.
Jacob has signed with indie label Red Rebel Music, who will prepare for the local release of his debut album ‘Reason’ later in the year.
Red Rebel Music Director Karen Waters reveals her excitement about bagging the singer.
“Jacob has been on my radar for a while now, but it wasn’t until I was sourcing songs for the Australian feature film ‘Occupied’ that the stars finally aligned. He truly is an exceptional talent and I’m looking forward to working with him,” she said in a statement.
The first single from the new relationship ‘Mind Waltz’ (the track that won the 2012 Unsigned Only song competition) will impact on radio soon.
