Warner Chappell Music and Katy Perry’s Unsub Publishing have signed an exclusive co-publishing deal with Debbi Dawson.
In 2023, Dawson released his debut EP Learning, including the single Eulogy For Nobody.
Dawson’s debut track, Even If It Kills Me, landed on the cover of Spotify’s Fresh Finds Pop Best of 2023 year-end playlist.
Katy Perry, founder of Unsub Publishing, said: “I couldn’t be more excited that Unsub is partnering with the incredibly gifted songwriting talent that is Debbi Dawson. My team and I fell in love with Debbii’s ability to fill her songs with a perspective that is so unique to her. He’s the kind of artist who gives voice to your subconscious. She is a rare find and someone I believe has a very bright future ahead of her as an artist, songwriter and creative force.
Maura Duval, Senior Director, A&R, WCM and Jacob Koranski, Head of A&R at WCM, said: “Debbii is a rare treasure. Ever since we first heard his demos from WCM songwriter Gabe Reali, we were sold. Her voice is undeniably unique and her storytelling is both authentic and distinct. We are delighted to contribute to the development of such a promising star.
Debbie Dawson plays the Great Escape festival in Brighton in May.
