Cody Simpson's third full-length album and first for his very own Coast House Records, Free, signals the start of something new. In 2014, the Australian-born Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter found himself independent for the first time as he thought this was the best path for him moving forward in his musical career. That independence invigorated and inspired a flurry of creativity as well as an insatiable desire to collaborate where he ended up in a Malibu studio overlooking the ocean with producer Cisco Adler. Within hours, Cody realized he had met his “musical soul brother.” They immediately began working on what would become Free. Nodding to lifelong influences as diverse as Bob Dylan, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, and Sublime, Cody cooked up a sun-kissed sound of his own driven by sandy acoustic guitars, steel drums, soaring solos, and unforgettable hooks. Cody is also the face of Ralph Lauren’s 2015 Denim & Supply campaign and Hollister’s 2015 holiday campaign. 1M+ Subscribers 7.7M+ Followers 7.5M+ Fans 2.8M+ Followers Since she made her debut on the British charts in 2013 with a spare deconstruction of Rufus & Chaka Khan’s “Ain’t Nobody,” London-born singer-songwriter Jasmine Thompson (signed to Atlantic Records) has become something of a muse to a host of DJs and EDM producers. DJ Felix Jaehn was so inspired by her version of the classic R&B hit that he created a remix, which climbed charts internationally. Jaehn has called her “a talented and rising superstar.” Thompson’s crystalline vocals have also captured the attention of Avicii, Naughty Boy and Passenger. In 2014, Thompson caught the ear of German DJ/producer, Robin Schulz, who tapped her to feature on his track “Sun Goes Down.” “Her voice has a global sensibility and the potential to reach the world," Schulz says. 2M+ Subscribers 106K+ Followers 900K+ Fans 500K+ Followers Big Machine’s latest signee, Midland hail from Dripping Springs, Texas and pick up on the spirit of the greater country music heyday of the 1970’s and 80’s.
