Teamwrk Records and ADA/Warner Music Australia are excited to announce a new partnership which will see them working together in Australia/New Zealand with Sydney rapper Masked Wolf, who is currently riding high with his huge single Astronaut In The Ocean. This partnership is the perfect next step to give Masked Wolf the push his music deserves in this home territory, alongside his continued success overseas.
Recently signed to Warner Music’s Elektra Records for the rest of the world, Masked Wolf’s Astronaut In The Ocean has amassed over 100 million global streams across all platforms (with over 2 million streams a day) and is sitting at #22 on the Global Spotify chart, #2 on the Global Spotify Viral chart, #1 on the Global Shazam Hip Hop Chart and #3 on the Global Shazam Top 200 chart. In Australia, Masked Wolf’s homeland, the momentum is only just getting started with Astronaut In The Ocean sitting at #7 on the Australian Spotify Viral chart, #44 on the Australian Spotify Top 200 chart and #36 on the Australian Shazam Top 200 chart.
Jae Butt, Manager of Masked Wolf & Head of A&R at Teamwrk Records says, “We are thrilled to have partnered with ADA/Warner Australia to distribute Masked Wolf throughout ANZ. Our goal at Teamwrk has always been to build and establish artists from the ground up and we have found the perfect partners to join with us in taking Masked Wolf to the next level.”
Anthony Staun, Head of Streaming at Teamwrk Records adds, “This has been an incredible moment for not only Australian HipHop but also locally grown artists in general. We have seen unprecedented growth and numbers overseas and we are excited to partner with a local major that will help mark MW’s home country with the same success.”
Dan Rosen, President of Warner Music Australia comments, “I am thrilled to welcome Masked Wolf to the ADA/Warner Australia family and to partner with Teamwrk Records. It is incredible to see the impact that Masked Wolf is already having around the world, and we cannot wait to work together to build his success here in his home country.”
General Manager of ADA Australia, Ben Ralph concludes, “It is such an exciting time for Masked Wolf, who is currently creating a truly global moment. I’m looking forward to working with the amazing Teamwrk crew and excited for what we will achieve together for Masked Wolf in AU/NZ!”
Harry Michael aka Masked Wolf started putting pen to paper as he listened to Eminem and 50cent like many teenagers in that era. As he matured, he started finding more music influences like Kevin Gates, Drake and Joyner Lucas. “Only time I go backwards is when I wanna moon walk’, this simple but effective line from his first single Speed Racer sums up the mission and mindset of Masked Wolf. Failure is no option.
Masked Wolf feels that his success cannot be achieved without being able to talk about his own mental health and welcoming those around him to do the same. This approach gave him the unwavering confidence to write his hit single Astronaut in the Ocean. He has an incredible message to be shared and there is no surprise he has virally populated all over the world.
