Renowned U.K.-born singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae has signed with Independent Artist Group (IAG) for exclusive representation across North America.
Managed by Anthony Patterson and Taylor Cottrell at Roc Nation, the six-time Grammy Award-nominated artist now joins the ranks of IAG’s R&B roster, which includes legends like Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo and Keyshia Cole.
Since her breakout self-titled debut in 2006, Bailey Rae has been a dynamic presence in the music industry. Her signature song, “Put Your Records On,” has amassed over a billion streams, according to a press release. Hailing from Leeds, Bailey Rae is a two-time Grammy Award winner, an NAACP Image Award recipient and a two-time MOBO Award winner.
In 2023, Bailey Rae released Black Rainbows, an album inspired by her time at the Stony Island Arts Bank in Chicago. The record, shortlisted for the 2024 Mercury Prize, showcases her artistic evolution and exploration of new sonic landscapes. To celebrate the release, she embarked on an extensive 40-date headline tour that includes performances at prestigious venues such as the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, The Serpentine Pavilion’s Black Chapel in London and Yale University’s Schwarzman Center. Her current tour wraps Nov. 1 at the JazzNoJazz Festival in Zurich, Switzerland.
As a successful touring artist, Rae has a number of impressive career accomplishments under her belt, having extensively toured in markets like China, where she performed four concerts in August 2023 with shows in Shenzhen, Nanjing and Shanghai and a headlining spot at the Xiami music festival in Qinghuangdao, China. This year, she appeared at the Outside Lands festival at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and headlined the We Out Here festival in Wimborne, U.K. and the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
