New Zealand singer/songwriter Joseph Farris, better known as his stage name, Ezra Vine, has signed a global record deal with Parlophone Records UK.
The Auckland born musician celebrated the signing with a rooftop performance at the company's London office yesterday.
"Signing with Parlophone is the highlight of my career. To be joining a label whose roster has been home to so many brilliant artists such as The Beatles, Coldplay, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Two Door Cinema Club, Blur, and Gorillaz, is both humbling and a privilege. I can't wait to make records as a part of their family," says Farris.
Ezra Vine first burst on the New Zealand music scene last year, with his infectious pop hit, Celeste <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDip6DYnNVQ which was also the brand identity track on TVNZ's channel One.
Celeste is distributed in New Zealand through Warner Music New Zealand.
Warner Music New Zealand General Manager, Phil Howling, says, "Warner Music New Zealand are delighted with the signing of Ezra Vine to our iconic Parlophone label. The international deal reflects yet again that the world is watching what is happening in NZ Music, and what a great way to start NZ Music month."
Celeste is available now from iTunes http://bit.ly/PVa1x1.
