History
Nice Life's launch was officially announced in March 2016 as a joint venture with Atlantic Records. Reed was initially approached by Atlantic CEO Craig Kallman in 2014 who proposed a partnership, citing producers who have worked closely with labels historically.[2][9] The company's name was inspired by a phrase that Reed's former manager would use frequently.[10] Soon after its formation, Nice Life added Lizzo as its first signee.[11] Since then the label has added the Marías, John-Robert (in partnership with Warner Records), Junior Mesa, and St. Panther among others.[12][13]
In September 2019, Nice Life entered into a joint venture with music publisher Big Deal Music Group (which has since been acquired by Hipgnosis) to administer their publishing catalog and contribute to new songwriter signings.[14]
