It’s a pleasure to represent Jalen Ngonda and his manager Chris Butler. Yesterday the Creative Law contract signing pen (light on) was used to sign an exclusive songwriting deal with Sony Music Publishing - United Kingdom and we couldn’t be happier. Jalen is an extraordinary talent, the most exciting soul artist on the planet and on the verge of superstardom . A wonderful humble man too. Many congratulations to all concerned.
