Lennie Levine's LL Artists Partners With The Orchard

By FYI Staff

Longtime Montreal music executive Lennie Levine’s latest venture, LL Artists, has signed a distribution partnership with The Orchard. Described as a partnership,  the music company plans to  work with artists, producers and other creators to develop unique opportunities for Canadian talent domestically and internationally. 
 
LL Artists was founded in the summer of 2020 by Levine who served as executive VP and later President of Last Gang Entertainment. Prior to that, he was EVP at the Donald K Donald Group.   With LL Artists, Levine ventures that he has created “a modern, hybrid artist management company and record label for today’s dynamic and expanding music landscape.”
 
“I am very excited and incredibly grateful to The Orchard and my artists for this unique opportunity and partnership,” says Levine. “My objective is to help and enable artists to reach their fullest potential and to be able to do so internationally. Our partnership with The Orchard is perfect because it allows LL Artists to tap into an incredibly vast distribution network and a deep analytical dashboard that will greatly benefit our roster. This wouldn’t have been possible without Lisa Logentenkow – my sincerest thanks to her, Karine Lafleur and Brooke Morgan at The Orchard for their amazing support of LL Artists.”
 
First to be released on the LL Artists label imprint, distributed by The Orchard, will be Montreal rock ‘n roll disruptors, The Flamingos Pink‘s Free Livin debut single from an upcoming sophomore album, coming out on March 11.

See Who Was Nominated — and Who Was Passed Over — in Oscars’ 2025 Music Categories

This is the fifth year in a row that one or more non-English language songs has been nominated for best original song.

Diane Warren received her 16th Oscar nomination for best original song on Thursday (Jan. 23) — a tally equaled by only three other songwriters in the 91-year history of the category. Sammy Cahn leads with 26 nods, followed by Johnny Mercer with 18 and Paul Francis Webster, also with 16. Warren was nominated this year this year for “The Journey,” sung by H.E.R. in The Six Triple Eight.

Moreover, this is the eighth year in a row Warren has been nominated, which enables her to tie Cahn for the longest continuous streak of nominations in this category. Cahn was nominated eight years running from 1954 to 1961.
