Believe Music Publishing has signed emerging singer-songwriter Olive Jones to an exclusive songwriting agreement.
Jones released her debut album For Mary via Nettwerk Music Group in March and has 2.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
Created with producer and songwriter James Wyatt (George Ezra, Ellie Goulding, Lianne La Havas), For Mary has surpassed 40 million global streams on the platform, while most-streamed song, End Of Time, has garnered upwards of 5m streams in the past three months alone, taking its total past 19m.
“I'll happily admit I'm one of Olive Jones' biggest fans – her songwriting is honest, relatable and completely original, and the fierce way she protects her craft is something I genuinely admire," said Shino Parker, Believe Music Publishing's head of sales, UK. "I couldn't be prouder to welcome her to the Believe Music Publishing family."

He added: "Signing Olive is a statement of our intent to back the future of songwriting, and with her sophomore album being written as we speak and her manager Chris Butler at Be The Music by her side, we can't wait to see what 2027 holds for her.”
For Mary's release followed a string of singles including 2023’s Tell Me Why – a collaboration with Gotts Street Park – which has amassed more than 126m streams on Spotify, alongside 2024 EP Three More Nights.
Jones also released a reworked version of album track Colour On The Wall featuring Bombay Bicycle Club’s Jack Steadman and recently reunited with Gotts Street Park on the song Wake Me Up.
She is due to support Jordan Rakei on his 2027 European tour and release her second album later next year.
"I am so delighted to be signing with Believe Music Publishing UK," added Jones. "Shino and the team exude positivity, passion for songwriting and a desire to help artists reach their full potential so I know it will be the perfect home for my music. I love the origin story of the company and this completes the puzzle of my fully independent team of which I am very proud!"
