PORTLAND, OR: Local independent rock recording artist Waxie has signed a multi-year five-record deal with Sony Records, the world’s largest publisher of pop music. Additionally, after self-producing his first four albums, Waxie has sold the rights of his entire existing song catalog to Sony. “Sony will give me the opportunity to put my music in front of a lot of people who may not otherwise have heard it.”
Even before the release of his self-published debut album “Lovelorn Cowboy” in 2011, Waxie had begun to develop an enthusiastic following in the Portland area. His fans describe themselves as part of a tight-knit family, and they have worked hard to create something special as they support Waxie's music. Both critics and fans note that the musician’s success is extraordinary; as local Portland Independent music editor Chad Murphy notes, “Anyone who has followed Waxie knows that his talent is a well-honed skill attributed to years of hard work. Few musicians put in the number of hours, blood, sweat, and tears that he has to get here.”
As part of the deal, several of Waxie’s best-rated songs have been licensed for use in television advertisements slated to appear in early 2027. For example, the fan-favorite track “Neverending” from his new album “Unforgiven” (Track Listing Below) will be featured in both a soft drink marketing campaign, as well as a Superbowl ad for a new line of frozen entrees.
When asked about the decision, a radical departure from Waxie’s independent roots, the artist responded, “this opportunity is the best choice at this time.”
