Sokari is currently producing and co-writing Madison Paris’ debut EP.

He’s incredibly ambitious, and we look forward to helping him realise that ambition. It’s great to be working with Conchord Management as well, who we’ve had plenty of success with to date. We’re braced for an exciting journey ahead!”
