According to a statement announcing the news, this global deal will see Downtown Music Services provide “funded music publishing administration and label services” for Geejam Music’s existing catalog and roster of songwriters and producers.
Jon Baker, the former President of Island Jamaica first opened Geejam Studios in Port Antonio, Jamaica in 1998.

Geejam Studios now claims to have become the “premier” residential recording facility in the region.
