Armada Music signs long-term deal with Will Clarke

Armada Music has signed a long-term deal with Bristol-born, Detroit-based artist Will Clarke. 

To coincide with the signing announcement, Clarke has dropped new single Give Me, a collaboration with Burns, co-producer of Miracle by Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding.

The signing follows Armada UK’s breakthrough success with D.O.D., whose Top 20 single So Much in Love has UK chart sales to date of 402,501 (Official Charts Company).

Will Clarke said: “I’m at a pivotal moment as an artist where my writing and production is my priority and deepest passion, and I feel ready to take things to the next level. With the Armada team behind me, who understand my sound and my vision, I know that my new music can reach its full potential. Give Me with Burns, whose work I’ve admired for so long, really sets the tone of what’s to come.” 

Jason Ellis, senior global A&R director at Armada Music, said: “We are thrilled to have Will on board at such an exciting time in his career, to guide his artist project with the support of a full team across our global operation. It’s rare to tap an artist with an impressive multi-faceted offering, and such an obvious passion for what they do. For Will, it’s all about making art with no cliches.”
