We are delighted to announce the signing of Ivory Layne to an exclusive worldwide publishing deal. A huge thanks to CMU, The IMI, Music Row and Record of the Day for featuring the signing. 

"A rising star in Nashville, Layne is signed to Justin Timberlake’s Villa40 artist development company. 

Layne said: “As an up-and-coming artist, I’m used to being valued for potential and what I could be someday. Bucks sees what I’m bringing to the table now and meets it with enthusiasm and insight. I couldn’t be happier to be working with this incredible team and look forward to where we’ll go together!”

Alignment Management's Chris Woods said: “I am delighted to have Bucks join team Ivory. From my first conversation with Flash and Sarah, I could see that they understood her vision as a creative, and that they shared in my belief that Ivory as a triple threat (artist, writer and producer) is an exceptional talent destined for great success.”

Bucks’ Director A&R, Sarah Liversedge Platz, said: “Ivory is a fantastic songwriter, artist and personality. She’s worked with some of the best names in the business already and is sure to have a fantastic career. We’re honoured that she has chosen Bucks for this next stage of her journey.”

Bucks’ Senior A&R, Flash Taylor, said: “We first encountered Ivory’s incredible writing and vocal talents on hearing her work with our writer Seton Daunt. Sarah and I immediately heard a singular and incredibly gifted young talent. When we met her on the Zoom, her fantastic personality, ambition, and intelligence burst through the screen. It became abundantly clear that this was a writer that we just had to work with. I am extremely excited to work with both Ivory and Chris on Ivory's musical journey.”"... Read More
