LL ARTISTS ANNOUNCES DISTRIBUTION PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ORCHARD / SONY

NEW MUSIC FROM THE FLAMINGOS PINK, CINZIA & THE ECLIPSE AND BLESS TO BE RELEASED THIS SPRING

TORONTO, ON – March 2, 2022 – LL Artists is proud and excited to announce a new distribution partnership with The Orchard / Sony. With this partnership, music and works from artists, producers and creators signed to LL Artists will be available to music lovers worldwide. It will also create unique opportunities to develop and promote diverse Canadian talent domestically and internationally. 

LL Artists was founded in the summer of 2020 by music industry veteran, Lenny Levine.  Blending his years of executive experience in various key areas of the industry (as former president of Last Gang Records and EVP at The Donald K Donald Group), Levine provides his artists with insight and infrastructure that generate greater opportunity to monetize their music in both the conventional and new, non-traditional marketing strategies, platforms and technologies. With LL Artists, Levine has created a modern, hybrid artist management company and record label for today’s dynamic and expanding music landscape. 

“I am very excited and incredibly grateful to The Orchard and my artists for this unique opportunity and partnership,” says Levine. “My objective is to help and enable artists to reach their fullest potential and to be able to do so internationally. Our partnership with The Orchard is perfect because it allows LL Artists to tap into an incredibly vast distribution network and a deep analytical dashboard that will greatly benefit our roster. This wouldn’t have been possible without Lisa Logentenkow – my sincerest thanks to her, Karine Lafleur and Brooke Morgan at The Orchard for their amazing support of LL Artists.”

First to be released on the LL Artists label imprint, distributed by The Orchard, will be Montreal rock ‘n’ roll disruptors, The Flamingos Pink. Free Living is their highly-anticipated first single from their upcoming sophomore album, coming out on March 11. Cinzia & the Eclipse will release her new single in April – a global introduction to the songstress ahead of the release of her full-length album  later this year. LL Artists will round out the first half of 2022 with the long-awaited return of Canada’s hip-hop OG and Guru’s protégé, Bless, with new music dropping in May. One to watch for in late 2022 is hip-hop upstart, Hayden Marcus.

“We are really happy about LL Artists joining The Orchard family,” says Lisa Logutenkow, Vice President, The Orchard. “Lenny is an insightful music business vet that combines his experience and knowledge with his great love of artist development. Having been directly involved in the career development of such great acts like SUM 41, Metric and Death From Above, Lenny has a proven track record of success. We are looking forward to a long and abundant partnership with LL Artists, helping them break great, new Canadian artists on a worldwide level.”

LL Artists is actively involved in creating synergies with other music and event-based entertainment companies, based in both Canada and the U.S. More details and announcements coming soon.
