LE SSERAFIM, Beyoncé, David Guetta and J Balvin collaborator Phil Leigh has signed with Prescription Songs. The Los Angeles-based songwriter and producer holds credits on LE SSERAFIM’s “Speghetti” and TWICE’s “Hi Hello.”
“Life is the best! And a HUGE part of why I feel that way is because of music,” Leigh said in a statement. “I’m truly obsessed with it and I don’t take for granted that I’ve been allowed to spend my life feeling, playing and creating professionally. I’ve been close with the Prescription Songs family for a very long time and it means the world to me that I’m now officially a part of it, working with them. They match my freak, and I’m so grateful that they are the people that I’m doing this with.”
Cameron Kooklanfar, A&R director at Prescription Songs, and who led Leigh’s signing with the company, added, “Phil is an incredible creative and an equally amazing person. He has a way of winning people’s hearts while making some of the best music out there. From his work with Beyoncé and Jason Derulo to LE Sserafim & J Hope’s #3 Billboard Global record ‘SPAGHETTI,’ ANOTR’s ‘Paradise’ off the Witness album, and other artists from Marshmello to Chainsmokers, Purple Disco Machine & NAEYON, his versatility speaks for itself. We’re so happy to welcome him to the Prescription family and excited to help build on everything he’s already accomplished.” — Ariel King
