A Beautiful Day, those were the words of Jermaine Edwards, as he has just signed a phenomenal deal with Sony Music UK. The singer took to his official social media page, where he reacted to his most recent achievement and also highlighted that the young boy who had covered the song would also be a part of this huge deal and a new phase of his career.
In 2017, 10-year-old Rashawn Ewears was recorded by a teacher at the Top Hill Primary School in St. Elizabeth giving his best version of Jermaine Edwards’ Beautiful Day. 6 years later, they both went viral.
This was bigger than my team and lawyers. Thanks to @sonymusicuk for giving us the deal we wanted. I have never seen so many texts, emails, and phone calls from Major labels in my whole life. I was so scared I couldn’t sleep and I didn’t know what to do. While many people were using Rushawn, my melody and lyrics, selling it online and no respect.
I fought for my intellectual property, and in return, I fought for Rushawn.
The same way his voice was tied to my lyrics and melody. He is now the little brother or son I never had.
Thank God for this weird moment that not even labels could understand what is happening, he wrote.
