Kalie Shorr Inks Label Deal With Tmwrk Records
Last year, Kalie Shorr’s album Open Book landed the singer-songwriter on numerous top albums lists. Now, she has inked a label deal with New York-based tmwrk records, founded by Andrew McInnes, founder/CEO of tmwrk management. The label is a partnership with Sony-owned music distributor and marketer The Orchard.
Shorr will soon release a deluxe version of her album, titled Open Book: Unabridged, which will include new music that was recorded over the summer.
“Signing with tmwrk records was so worth the wait,” Shorr says. “I’ve always wanted my career to be non-traditional, and they love challenging the norms as much as I do. It obviously meant so much to me that they believe in me as an artist, but even more so that they believe in Open Book enough to re-release it. I never thought I would get a record deal on Zoom while I was wearing sweatpants.”
“We created tmwrk records to fill a void we saw in the artist development process,” said McInnes, adding, “the label exists to help start careers. We bring a level of expertise that can only be gained by our experience and successful history of helping artists start labels and self release albums. One of the main goals of the label is to work with rebellious artists from different genres who are not managed by tmwrk management. When I first heard Kalie’s album Open Book I wanted to meet her and get involved. Even over a Zoom call she is a force and an inspiring digital hang. Her managers are not so bad either.”
Shorr’s team also includes CAA; entertainment one/Vintern Songs; Flood, Bumstead, McCready & McCarthy; Ritholz Levy Fields; 117 Entertainment; Cassetty Entertainment and New York-based management company we few.
