Pez Signs Management Deal With Hub Artist Services

Melbourne-based rapper Pez has signed a management deal with Hub Artist Services, effective immediately.

Pez will release his second album through EMI/Universal this year and has dropped the first track, The Game. The track signalled something of a comeback for Pez who had been quiet since the cycle of his breakout single Festival Song finished in 2009.

Today the artist admitted the record “has been a long time coming”. He said, “I had to do this on my own the first time around, and so to finally have a team around me who I believe in, and who believe in me, makes me so excited for the year ahead.”

Hub's owner and Managing Director Troy Barrott added, “We have absolute respect for Pez and consider him to be one of the most pivotal artists responsible for the emergence of Australian hip hop over the past decade. But beyond that, especially having heard songs for the new album, we believe Pez will become one of the most important voices in Australian music – across all genres.”]

The label's management roster also includes Dappled Cities, Washington, Winter People, Glass Towers, Phebe Starr and Sinead Burgess amongst others.

Yesterday Hub The Label and Inertia signed Sydney four-piece Zeahorse. They will release their debut album Pools mid-year.
