Joe said: ‘It's been an incredible four years for Black Butter and we’re very proud of what we’ve achieved.
‘We see partnering with Jason as a great opportunity to build on this. Jason’s vision for the future is very exciting and forward thinking. It was this, along with his understanding of our business that ultimately persuaded us to come to Sony Music UK.’
