Grammy nominated Tunji Ige & Brain Habit sign a multi-territory administration deal with Supreme Songs!
Philadelphia rapper, songwriter, and producer Tunji Ige (born Olatunji Ige) began creating music while he was just a teenager with a laptop "in a basement in Pennsylvania."
Inspired by rappers like Kanye West, Kid Cudi, Common, DMX, and Jay-Z, Ige was also influenced by the electronic textures of Disclosure and James Blake, the soul of Donny Hathaway, and the Afro-beat of Fela Kuti, the latter a direct nod to his Nigerian parents.
On his breakthrough 2014 single, "Day2Day," he wove these varied influences into a viral hit that transformed a trap-influenced rap track into a progressive house anthem.Released while he was still a student at West Chester University, the song appeared on his self-produced debut mixtape, The Love Project, a coming-of-age story that focused on topics like relationships, rebellion, and social pressure. In 2016, Ige issued Missed Calls, which was co produced by Noah Breakfast (Chiddy Bang).
Tunji went on to being Grammy nominated in 2017 for his co-produce / co-write work on the multi-platinum single "Location" by Khalid , as well as co-writing “No Harm Is Done” a multi-territory hit for Christine and the Queens a year or so later.
Tunji has ended his tenure at Atlantic to focus on production and now is back re-emerging where he left off as an artist with his own production company / brand “Proper Enjoyment”.
Supreme is delighted to announce that Tunji via his publishing company Brain Habit has signed a pan territory publishing administration deal!

Joyce Sims is an American musician, singer and songwriter. She is the legendary voice behind the Billboard Top Ten hit "Come into My Life".
From her beginnings singing in the local church choir, it was clear that Joyce Sims’ voice stood out from the crowd. Her first hit single "(You Are My) All and All" in 1986, produced by Kurtis Mantronik reached number 16 on the UK Singles Chart. It entered the US Dance Chart at number 51, and peaked at number 6. Sims followed up in 1988 with "Come into My Life", a song she wrote and performed that has become a veritable anthem, peaking at number 10 on the US Billboard R&B singles Chart and number 7 on the UK Singles Chart. This became her biggest success and the track with which she has become synonymous.
Both “All and All” and her remake of "Love Makes a Woman" with Jimmy Castor were also chart entries. Sims' debut album, “Come into My Life” reached number 22 on the US R&B Album Chart and number 5 in the UK Album Chart.
Following the Top 10 success of the title track on the UK Singles Chart, Sims' second album, "All About Love", was released in 1989 and reached number 64 on the UK Albums Chart.
The 90s and onward continued to see Joyce releasing new, self-penned music, as well as collaborations with the likes of Junior Vasquez and Maxi Priest, with artists such as Angie Stone, Snoop Dogg, and diverse musical icons such as jazz vocalist Randy Crawford paying tribute to Joyce Sims’ influence by sampling her work. Her work was also featured in the film "Species".
Sims’ album "Love Song" was released in 2015 on her own imprint, August Rose Records. Lewis Dene, USA East Coast Manager for Kings of Spins DJ pool described the debut single "All I Want Is You" as " Totally refreshing, original and really addictive !"
