Sony/ATV has signed one of those worldwide publishing deals with Jason Wade, frontman and lead songwriter of the band, Lifehouse.

Co-President of Sony/ATV US Rick Krim says of the deal: “I have known Jason since the release of Lifehouse’s debut album and have always been a great admirer of his immense songwriting talent. To be able to be his publisher as he embarks on this next phase in his career is truly a THRILL for me and the whole Sony/ATV team, and we are so happy to have him join our family”.

Wade’s manager Jude Cole adds: “Jason is a gifted and prolific writer who’s been touring and supporting his own hit songs since he was eighteen years old. This is a new chapter for an artist who could never be satisfied running on the fumes of his past. I know he’s THRILLED to be working with Rick and the whole Sony/ATV team and I expect great things to come from this partnership”.

Though, despite all that, in his own statement Wade said nothing at all about being THRILLED: “After years of focusing on my band, this is a much-needed and exciting change in my life. My attraction to music has always been about the song, and in the world of songs I consider Sony/ATV to be the best of the best”.

Maybe he was just tired out from being so THRILLED.
