Bourne’s deal covers his extensive catalog of music along with any future works. He is best known as the co-founder, vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter of the platinum-album-selling group, Busted – which disbanded in 2005 and reformed in 2016. As part of the band Busted, Bourne has landed four UK No. 1 singles, won two BRIT awards, and sold more than five million records over four studio albums.

He has written songs for numerous artists including 5 Seconds of Summer, Backstreet Boys, Jonas Brothers, The Vamps, and many others.

Bourne released his first solo album, Safe Journey Home, in 2020 and this year has released a string of singles from the follow-up record. His latest album Sugar Beach was released last month.

Brasko has also penned 10 songs on Yungblud’s new self-titled album, which is set to be released in September 2022.

Brasko said: “I spent half of the year meeting with publishers and really taking my time getting to know them. When I sat across from Ryan I knew he got me right away. I’m happy to say I went with my gut on this one and it instantly felt like a team. Couldn’t be more excited to work with Cate, Jacob, Ryan, and my whole team at Warner Chappell.”

Brasko, based in Los Angeles has upcoming cuts with Palaye Royale, Pussy Riot, and more.
