ADA extends its partnership with Sonny Fodera’s label Solotoko, which has worked with Dom Dolla, John Summit, James Hype, Vintage Culture, and more.
ADA, the global independent music distribution and artist services arm of Warner Music Group, has extended its partnership with Sonny Fodera’s label Solotoko. Solotoko, now based in London after being founded in Ibiza in 2017, has served up not only Fodera’s music, but hits from artists like Dom Dolla, John Summit, Tita Lau, James Hype, Vintage Culture, and many more.
The news follows the announcement that Fodera’s smash hit, “Somedays,” is the only independent release to be nominated for Song of the Year at the 2025 BRIT Awards. “Somedays” spent a total of eight weeks in the UK’s Top Ten, peaking at No. 5. It was the biggest selling UK independent single release of 2024. The track was also his first song to chart in his native Australia and New Zealand, achieving Gold certification in Australia and the UK, and Double Platinum in Ireland.
Fodera has sold out London’s Alexandra Palace, two Warehouse Projects, and two nights at the 3 Arena in Dublin in a matter of minutes. He also completed his third road-block residency at Ibiza’s Amnesia, with news of a 2025 residency moments away.
ADA and Fodera’s label team, Palm Projects, have enjoyed a close working partnership since ADA struck a deal with Sonny Fodera and his management team five years ago. Together they have developed and grown Fodera’s career, which has seen him generate over two billion global streams to date across his catalog.
“From doing a deal together in lockdown to the best-selling British independent act and a BRIT nomination — what a journey! Sonny’s sound, songs, and shows connect deeply with the public and his impact on dance music in the UK in the last couple of years has been incredible,” says Sonny Fodera’s manager Greg Burnell and MD of ADA’s UK business Howard Corner in a joint statement. “The tracks are starting to connect overseas now and this new deal means we can really start to build a truly global story. We couldn’t be happier to extend our partnership together and take Sonny and Solotoko to the next level in 2025.
