The ascendancy of Enniscorthy songwriter and performer, Reuben Hester, on the world music stage is continuing at pace with the artist having just signed a number of prestigious new deals.
On Tuesday, the down-to-earth songsmith announced he had signed a new record deal with Echoism Records and a publishing deal with the prestigious Motor Entertainment company based in Berlin.
However, he also announced that he has signed a distribution deal with The Orchard.
While he is keeping his cards firmly close to his chest he also said that he will have another massive announcement to make in the coming months.
A 25-year-old songwriter from Enniscorthy is on the cusp of international stardom after being signed to leading British music label, 3ToneMusic, and releasing his debut single, Sold My Soul .
Reuben Hester is a past pupil of St Aidan s Parish School and Enniscorthy Vocational College, having moved to Enniscorthy from the UK when he was two-years-old.
He recently featured on the show, Little Mix The Search, which was aimed at finding young singers good enough to form a boyband to support Little Mix on tour.
Through that Reuben endeared himself to the massively successful chart-topping band.
Such was the impression that he made on the superstars that they actually kicked him off the show before the final live shows because they felt he d be better off as a solo artist.
