LONDON (CelebrityAccess) – Cooking Vinyl Publishing has officially signed Korean alt-R&B artist Jacqui to a long-term worldwide administration deal. Jacqui’s unique blend of R&B and alternative sounds has garnered international attention.
Born in South Korea, Jacqui’s multicultural background has significantly influenced her musical style. She spent her childhood in China before moving to the U.S. during her teenage years, and she is now based in Seoul. Her global perspective has shaped her sound, making her a standout in the alt-R&B genre.
Jacqui’s breakthrough came in 2020 when her single “White Clouds” was featured in Netflix’s My Holo Love series. Her Birthday EP followed in 2022 and in 2023, Jacqui embarked on a tour of Australia, expanding her fan base beyond Asia.
Her highly anticipated debut album, Dirty Mirror Selfie, was created in collaboration with her producer, Glowingdog. The album, which is out now, showcases Jacqui’s distinctive style and songwriting talent. She has also announced UK and European tour dates scheduled for spring 2025, a major milestone in her career.
Jacqui stated: “I am beyond excited to announce that I will be working with Cooking Vinyl Publishing. Happy for this connection and more opportunities to come to get me and my music reaching around the globe. Let’s get it cooking!”
Patrick Connor, Jacqui’s manager and head of the label Highjinkx, shared his enthusiasm: “We are really stoked to see Jacqui sign with Cooking Vinyl Publishing. Having such a well-established and respected publishing company join us as part of ‘team Jacqui’ is truly exciting. Their expertise will be invaluable to help build her profile outside of Korea. This awesome news, alongside the upcoming release of Jacqui’s debut album Dirty Mirror Selfie and her first appearances in the UK, means Jacqui has an exciting year ahead of her!”
Ryan Farley, MD of Cooking Vinyl Publishing, also shared his admiration for Jacqui: “I saw Jacqui perform at the Zandari showcase in Seoul this year and was blown away by her whole vibe; her music, her style, her live performance – it just all clicked! She’s a really exciting artist and I’m delighted to bring her into the Cooking Vinyl family. I look forward to helping her and Patrick build on what they have already achieved in the years to come.”
