The sheer number of artist signings announced on a weekly basis makes it difficult to keep up, no matter how closely you pay attention to the industry news cycle. That’s why every other Tuesday, Billboard compiles the latest signings to labels, distributors, agencies, management companies and more, in an effort to provide a snapshot of the latest moves in the artist space, from household names to indie stars to emerging acts.
To start the roundup this week, singer and songwriter Bebe Rexha has signed with Timeline Management. The Grammy-nominated star has released three studio albums and collaborated with artists across genres, including The Chainsmokers, Pete Wentz, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Louis Tomlinson, Florida Georgia Line and Sam Hunt.
“Bebe is a rare, once-in-a-generation artist who has consistently shaped culture both as an undeniable performer and a hit songwriter,” said Alexis Fleischer, CEO of Timeline Management, in a statement announcing the signing. “Her creative fearlessness and clear vision truly set her apart, and she remains one of pop’s most proven hitmakers. We are incredibly excited to welcome Bebe Rexha to the Timeline Management family and to partner with her as she enters an extraordinary next chapter.”
Following the release of her album Bebe, Rexha embarked on the Best F*n Night of My Life Tour in 2023. She is expected to release new musical projects very soon. — Taylor Mims
