Sony Music grabs a slice of Pizza
Atlanta-based pop trio Laughing Pizza has signed a deal with Sony BMG Music to develop children’s recordings, direct-to-DVD titles and TV programming based on the group’s live act.
Laughing Pizza is composed of husband-and-wife duo Billy Schlosser and Lisa Michaelis, and their young daughter, Emily.
Sony BMG’s Epic Records and its children’s arm, Sony Wonder, plan to mount national tours and merchandising for the trio, who emphasize healthy living in their music.
“The potential for the growth of this unique franchise is huge,” said Epic president Charlie Walk, who credited his own children for introducing him to Laughing Pizza.
