Solange Gets Her Own Record Label

By: Amanda Anderson-Niles

Solange clearly brings more to the table than just being the little sister to superstar Beyonce. In fact, Solange’s music is critically acclaimed, and she’s even made a name for herself in the world of fashion as she always manages to put together outfits that people can’t help but love. Although she’s been spending a lot of time with a high-profile DJ gig for celebrity events, she’s still aiming to take the music industry by storm. Solange took to her Twitter account earlier to announce she has landed her very own record deal with Sony. Rap-Up reports:

“Super stoked to announce I’ve started my own label,SAINT RECORDS,where I’ll be releasing my music & other projects distributed through SONY!” tweeted the 26-year-old singer.

Her next album is due on the label. “It is through SAINT RECORDS that I will be releasing my full length album, and also future music projects that I’m excited about sharing!”

The new deal gives her complete creative freedom. “Through Saint Records I will have 100% creative/artistic control & continue to passionately pursue my footing in this new musical movement,” explained Solange, who is managed by Roc Nation.

Interestingly enough, she recent told Complex that she feels like she has a resilience gene that was passed down from her parents. She cites both for teaching her how to go after everything she wants in life with no remorse:
 
 

“I have a mother who never took no for an answer when it came to her creative pursuits. She started a hair salon in her spare bedroom and four years later had 30 employees. I have a father who was the first black student at his junior high and high school and had to do a lot to get to that point. So it’s really in my bloodline when it comes to having an idea and making it happen.”

Here’s a few photos from her spread with Complex (she covers the June/July issue):

Gorgeous. Congrats to Solange.
