Weiss, whose pubbery maintains an office in New York and has staff in L.A. and Nashville, called Corona "a super-talented, super-versatile writer/producer." Other writers and producers on the Bossy Songs roster include Dan Gleyzer (BTS, Meghan Trainor, CIL), Cheyenna (Dasha, BIZZY) and Michael Sonier (Noah Cyrus, Maggie Rogers, Ella Henderson).
