“One of the foundations of Interscope has been
partnering with producers who can move the needle of popular culture,”
said Jimmy Iovine, head of Interscope. “Mark has that rare ear for great songs and
artists who will have extraordinary careers. We’re thrilled to be
in business with him.”
The deal will not be exclusive, as Allido artists Rhymefest and Daniel Merriweather will remain signed to J. Ronson, who produced for Pop stars such as Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen, will also be free to executive produce and produce for projects outside of the Interscope/Geffen/A&M umbrella. There is no word as to whether Ronson himself will now release product through the deal.
