LOS ANGELES, June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Avex Music Group, the global music division of Japanese entertainment giant Avex, announced today the signing of longtime Justin Bieber collaborators and backing band, We The Band. With offices in Los Angeles and Tokyo, Avex Music Group is led by CEO Brandon Silverstein, who is based in LA.
Forged over the years through hundreds of tour dates, studio sessions, and global performances, We The Band features Harv (Bass), Tay James (DJ), Julian Micheal (Guitar), Devin "Stixx" Taylor (Drums), and O'Neil Palmer (Keyboards). Beyond the stage, the group has contributed to some of Bieber's most iconic music. Harv notably produced the global hit "Peaches," and Tay James has served as Bieber's longtime A&R and DJ since they first met in 2009. Harv joined Bieber's team in 2010. Together, Harv and Tay—co-founders of We The Band—have been developing the vision for years.
"Through my friendships and conversations with both the band and Justin, I saw how much they believe in and inspire each other—not just as collaborators, but as people," said Silverstein. "Harv and Tay's vision, and the band's genuine talent, made it clear this was something special with real potential. That energy sparked something in me and the Avex team. We're genuinely excited about what's ahead."
We The Band is currently finalizing their debut album at Avex Studios in Los Angeles. The project will spotlight the band's unique sonic identity, honed through years of collaboration both as performers and creators. The album will feature a number of special guest appearances and is set for release later this year.
"This has been a dream of ours for many years now," said We The Band. "To create our own music that represents who we are as musicians with the support of a global powerhouse like Avex is incredibly exciting for all of us. We can't wait for our fans to hear what we've been working on."
