After nearly a decade at universal's Interscope, hitmaker Timbaland has jumped ship to Sony, entering into a joint venture with Epic Records for his Mosley Music Group.
MMG CEO Monique Idlett Mosley says Timbaland's close collaboration with Epic chairman/CEO Antonio "L.A." Reid on May's Michael Jackson Xscape project got the ball rolling. "We found these two amazing female urban artists and felt Epic was a great place for a fresh start," says Mosley, Timbaland's wife. "Both L.A. and Timbaland have a passion for this music and understand each other from a business perspective."
Under the terms of the new partnership, Epic will provide marketing, publicity, distribution and overall label services for the imprint. For now, MMG and Epic will only reveal a slate of releases scheduled for first-quarter 2015, including projects by rapper Tink and R&B/pop artist V. Bozeman.
