“We’ve been working closely with and have received immense support from Sony/ATV’s Ian Holder and Sam Reas. They are some of the best in the business. We are also excited to officially team up and work together with new chairman and CEO Jon Platt and the rest of his talented global team.”
Saint Bodhi said: “Some things very important to me are creative growth, having a supportive team and knowing that my music is in the hands of good people who care about the art. I am super excited to be able to start working with Ian, Sam and the talented team over at Sony/ATV. Looking forward to what this new chapter has in store.”
