Warner Music Korea has launched a new label called MPLIFY, which it says is dedicated to support Korean artists with international connections.
MPLIFY said that by concentrating on English-language music, it aims to help these artists “engage with a worldwide audience and succeed in the international music scene”.
MPLIFY is headed by Samuel Ku, the Executive Producer at Warner Music Korea.
A Korean American music producer, songwriter, and executive with over 15 years of industry experience, WMG says that Ku has collaborated with a diverse range of artists across multiple genres and is “poised to make a significant impact on the global music landscape”.
The first artist to join the label is Olivia Marsh, a Korean-Australian singer-songwriter, whose debut single will be available on all major DSPs from October.
Warner said that the new label “represents a fresh approach to music production and artist management, granting musicians the creative freedom to express their distinctive voices while targeting audiences worldwide”.
It added that “it aims to build a global fanbase and support artists in navigating the complexities of the international music landscape”.
Olivia Marsh said: “I am delighted to sign with MPLIFY and to work with such a warm, passionate and innovative team.”
Added Marsh: “I am grateful for their support and kindness, and I am excited to begin my journey with them. I can’t wait to share my music with you all.”
