Langley’s country music sister act Robyn and Ryleigh have taken the next big step in their career, signing with Royalty Records.
The Edmonton-based record label is a distribution partner of Sony Music Canada.
Rob Smith, president and CEO of Royalty Records, said the first thing he noticed about Robyn and Ryleigh was their passion and energy.
“It was obvious to me that they were in their element. They performed a couple tunes for me and that was what did it. I saw just them stripped down and real,” he said.
The signing marks the biggest milestone yet for the Langley sisters, following a pair of 2012 BCCMA Award nominations and the 2013 release of their first full-length album and debut single, “Just Another Sundown”, which played on Canadian country radio and was picked up for video play by The Heartland Network (The Nashville Network) in America.
“We are beyond excited to join Royalty Records,” said the duo.
“The first time we met Rob, we knew this was going to be a great fit. The entire Royalty family shares our love of music and we are thrilled to be taking our next big step with them.”
The pair will continue to be managed by Raincoast Music.
Inspired by a recent songwriting trip to Nashville and a year of performances across B.C. and Alberta, Robyn & Ryleigh are poised for their first single release for Royalty Records this spring, followed by their second album later in the year.
