S10 EXTENDS PUB DEAL WITH AVEX

Brandon Silverstein's S10 Publishing has signed a multiyear extension with Avex USA. The partnership was formed less than a year ago, with Japan's Avex establishing its U.S. presence in West Hollywood.

In the first year of the joint venture, S10/Avex USA closed multiple competitive signings and scored a global #1 with Justin Bieber's "Peaches," co-written by S10 Publishing's Harv.

S10 now publishes some of today’s most-consumed songs, including hits not only by Bieber but The Kid LAROI, Bad Bunny, Selena Gomez, Bella Poarch, 24kGoldn, Drake, Lil Baby, Juice WRLD, Travis Scott and more.

Said S10 founder and CEO Silverstein, “I’m thrilled to continue our publishing partnership with Avex USA. Naoki Osada and his team are incredible partners, and their support has been key as we seek to sign and develop some of today’s most exciting new writers.”

Avex USA President Osada added, “Brandon and S10's creativity and passion have led to extraordinary results in a short period of time. We’re very excited to continue building with S10 and furthering the expansion of everything we can do together.”

Thankful they don't have to visit HITS' Hollywood office are (L-R) Silverstein, Jay Cao (VP, S10 Entertainment), Lucas Thomashow (SVP, Avex USA) and Osada.
