In addition to his music with Holy Holy, which has amassed over 150 million streams on Spotify alone, critical acclaim, and numerous successful singles, Dawson has made a name for himself as one of the most in-demand writers, producers, and engineers in the country.
Taking on those roles, Dawson has worked with local artists such as Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers, Vacations, Amy Shark, Alex Lahey, Last Dinosaurs, Lotte Gallagher, and others.
Commenting on the signing, Dawson wrote on Instagram, “Stoked to announce that I have signed a new joint-venture publishing deal with @bucksmusicgroupltd in the UK and @mushroompublish in Aus. Working with such great people behind the scenes, and of course with new and amazing artists out in the wild, is a dream.”
