Clayton Johnson has signed with Audio Chateau Records, the label arm of Jared Gutstadt‘s audio entertainment company Audio Up Media.

The news comes on the heels of Johnson’s recent entry on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart with Lana Del Rey and Quavo’s smash single “Tough,”which he co-wrote. Johnson’s success with “Tough” marks the first time a podcast company has ever had a song chart in the top 40 on the Billboard 100. Johnson is also currently signed as a songwriter under a joint venture with Audio Up and Universal Music Publishing Group.

“We are thrilled to welcome Clayton Johnson as our latest signing to Audio Chateau,” says Gutstadt. “He is tapping into the infinite potential of Audio Chateau, not only as a label, but as an exclusive destination for some of the best and brightest songwriters and artists globally. This is the new Tin Pan Alley for next gen creators of the future, and Clayton knows how to take all the metaphorical wires within the Chateau and plug them in to create incredible results.”

He adds, “From penning ‘Tough’ with Lana in our space to using our studios and published writers and producers he is showing us what can be done at Audio Up and within the walls of the Audio Chateau. His journey is just beginning, and we couldn’t be prouder to have him on board.”

“Anytime you have somebody firmly believe in you, your music, and what you’re doing, it’s the best feeling in the world,” notes Johnson. “Jared and the whole team at Audio Chateau have been the biggest supporters, and I can’t wait to show the world who Clayton Johnson is.”

Since its January launch, Audio Chateau Records has been building its brand by utilizing its access to Audio Up Media’s array of dimensionalized media lanes. All of Audio Chateau’s artists have the opportunity for their music to be integrated into Audio Up’s original podcasts, books and graphic novels, among other mediums, with the goal of creating a 360-degree solution for content creation, marketing and distribution.
