H.E.R. Files Lawsuit to Be Released From Her Label, MBK Entertainment
Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson, the Grammy- and Oscar-winning singer-songwriter known as H.E.R., is suing MBK Entertainment.
The record label owned by her longtime manager Jeff Robinson, for the rights to her music catalog. H.E.R. signed with Robinson in 2011, when she was 14 years old.
The lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California in Los Angeles County on Thursday.
Wilson’s releases under the name H.E.R. all have been released under the MBK logo and distributed by Sony Music’s RCA Records.
It is unclear whether her dispute extends to her management contract with Robinson, who previously managed Alicia Keys.
She requests the judge rule that the agreement violates the California Labor Code’s Seven-Year rule and is asking for “restitution and disgorgement of funds according to proof”
