Ne-Yo Inks Universal Motown Deal For His Compound Protege Jadyn Maria

Grammy Award winning R&B singer Ne-Yo has inked a deal for his new prot�g� Jadyn Maria at Universal Motown Records. As Singersroom previously reported, Maria will push the infectious pulsing electronic single �Good Girls Like Bad Boys,� featuring Flo-Rida.

Puerto Rico born Maria met Ne-Yo�s partner Tango and began recording in Atlanta before signing to compound. Not too long after she did her first couple of songs, she received a call that changed her life: �Hi Jadyn, this is Ne-Yo. I just wanted to let you know I heard the songs you just recorded and I would like to sign you as an artist.�

On signing Maria Ne-Yo says: �A sweet tone, a gorgeous smile, a bubbly yet strong persona�not to mention a rather strong pen game�made Jadyn Maria just what I was looking for. It�s these attributes that will also make her a name you will remember.�

�I am thrilled to team up with Ne-Yo, his manager Tango, and Compound Entertainment to introduce Jadyn Maria,� adds Universal Motown President Sylvia Rhone. �It�s the greatest validation of a new artist�s talent to earn the praises of a fellow artist who has already made it to the top of the game, so it speaks volumes that Ne-Yo has chosen Jadyn as his very first signing. Jadyn is a fantastic singer and gifted songwriter who really stands apart from the pack of new female artists with enormous charisma, a unique personal style, and a sassy edge. It gives me great pleasure to welcome Jadyn Maria into the Universal Motown family.�

Jadyn Maria�s album is set to feature some of today�s R&B and pop music heavy-hitters, including Ne-Yo, Katy Perry, and Travis McCoy from Gym Class Heroes, to name a few.

Check out and enjoy �Good Girls Like Bad Boys� now streaming on Singersroom.
