Avex Music Group has signed Justin Bieber’s longtime backing group We the Band, the company announced Thursday.

We The Band consists of bassist Harv, DJ Tay James, guitarist Julian Micheal, drummer Devin “Stixx” Taylor and keyboardist O’Neil Palmer. Aside from being as Bieber’s DJ, James has also been Bieber’s longtime a&r. Harv, meanwhile, has produced several Bieber tracks including 2020’s “Forever” with Post Malone and the 2021 smash hit “Peaches” featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon.

The move comes about two months after Avex, the Japanese entertainment conglomerate, named music manager Brandon Silverstein the CEO of the newly created Avex Music Group and acquired his company S10 Music Publishing.
