Written by Tariq on October 15, 2021
Billy Porter has just signed a new deal with Island Records and Republic Records. “Music is my first love,” said Porter. “I grew up singing in the church. When I first put out commercial music in 1997, the industry was not ready for all this Black Boy Joy! But luckily the world has caught up. I could not be more thrilled to entrust this next chapter of my music career to the Island/Republic team.
NEWS! So happy to be a part of the @islandrecordsuk / @RepublicRecords family! @variety #Exclusive https://t.co/4Fp1ltcD3e
