Platoon Music, Apple acquired in 2018, works with artists to produce, distribute,
and sell their content while using analytics to figure out the target market for their style of music.
The development comes months after Florence Otedola, a disk jockey better known as DJ Cuppy,
also signed with Platoon Music before the release of ‘Original Copy’, her debut EP.
Denzyl Feigelson, CEO of Platoon Records, had earlier revealed his intentions to help artistes get through the coronavirus pandemic.
While welcoming Simi to the brand, Feigelson can be heard saying in the video:
“We’re are really looking forward to seeing your music spread out to the entire globe, which it should.”
