History
Between 2013 and 2017, Prescription Songs held a joint publishing deal with Nashville-based Big Machine Records to build bridges between songwriters in the Nashville and Los Angeles music industries. The company expanded its own presence in Nashville with the establishment of a second Prescription Songs headquarters in 2016.[2][3]
In 2014, recording artist Kesha sued Dr. Luke for sexual assault, emotional abuse, and psychological abuse.[4] Since then, songwriters and others affiliated with Prescription Songs have come under scrutiny for their perceived connections to Dr. Luke. Ethel Cain, who signed to Prescription Songs in 2020, stated in a 2023 Rolling Stone interview that she regretted her decision and would not have signed to the label had she been aware of Dr. Luke's involvement. Cain left Prescription Songs as soon as she fulfilled her contractual obligations to the company.[5]
Prescription Songs partnered with BitPay in 2021, becoming the first major music company to offer songwriters and music producers payment in Bitcoin.[6]
