NEW YORK, April 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Sony
Music Publishing announced the signing of hip-hop songwriter,
producer and beatmaker Jonathan DeMario
Priester, also known as Supah Mario, to a worldwide
deal.
Recently, Supah Mario's career has continued to rise – in March,
he reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Producers chart and the Hot 100
chart for the first time ever for his production work on Drake's
"What's Next." He is also working on upcoming projects for
chart-topping artists including Lil Uzi
Vert, Swae Lee, and Post Malone.
"Although my God-given talent is a huge part of my success, I
could not be where I am today without the desire and passion that
has and continues to drive me every day. I am so humbled and
excited to start this new relationship with Sony Music Publishing,
and I would like to thank them for the opportunity," said Supah
Mario. "I especially want to thank Adrian Nunez at SMP for all his hard work in
making this dream a reality. I've long wanted to be a part of Sony
Music Publishing, and I am excited for my future with the
publisher. I've also been blessed with a management team who worked
alongside Adrian to make this possible – thank you to my wonderful
team. Thanks to my family for all the sacrifices they make so I can
follow my passion. Most importantly, thank God for all my success
and many more years to come."
Sony Music Publishing Vice President, Creative Adrian Nunez
said, "The opportunity to work with Supah Mario has been a long
time coming, and I'm excited to continue our creative relationship
with Mario. I'm thankful for Amal, Josh and the rest of Mario's
team for their help and I'm excited to see what happens
next."
South Carolina native Supah
Mario has quickly made a name for himself as an in-demand producer,
crafting popular hits including "What's Next," "Ice Melts" and
"Blue Tint" by Drake; "Wyclef Jean" by Young Thug; "That Way,"
"Myron" and "Silly Watch" by Lil Uzi
Vert; "Diamonds Talkin' Back" by 2 Chainz; and Big
K.R.I.T.'s "Mixed Messages."
Supah Mario earned breakout success in 2014 with his
collaboration alongside Young Thug on "2 Cups Stuffed," and again a
year later with his 2015 hit "Thiefs in the Night." Since then, he
has become recognized as one of today's most prolific new
beatmakers, working with and producing for prominent artists such
as Drake, Jeezy, 2 Chainz, Lil Uzi
Vert, Trippie Redd, Lil Yachty, Key Glock, Tory Lanez, among many others. Supah Mario is
managed by Amal Noor, Skip Ojulade
and Chibu Amajoyi, and represented
by Joshua Kamen, Esq.
