15-year-old Australian wunderkind Maple’s Pet Dinosaur has landed some major deals this week, including with Warner Music Australia and In Bloom.
The Newcastle artist has inked the deals just over a year after her debut song, “Lego,” went viral on social media, with the music video racking up 32.5 million views on Instagram and 2 million on TikTok within two weeks of release.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Maple to Warner Music Australia in partnership with In Bloom. Since meeting Maple, I have been blown away by her creative vision, global ambition and a deep connection to her fans,” President of Warner Music Australasia and Southeast Asia, Dan Rosen, said.
“We’re excited to bring Maple’s music to the world as she steps into the next chapter of her career.”
Johnny Minardi, President of In Bloom, added: “Maple’s music felt special from the very first listen. Thankfully, she had a handful of new songs that painted a complete picture of her unique creative vision. She’s a true force of nature, with a rare combination of talent, conviction, and relentless drive. We’re thrilled to help bring the world of Maple’s Pet Dinosaur to many, many, more people!”
If that wasn’t big enough, Maple’s Pet Dinosaur has also signed with Raw Power Management, which represents the likes of Bring Me The Horizon and Bullet For My Valentine, and global talent agency, CAA.
The signings comes ahead of Maple’s Pet Dinosaur’s debut EP, Child’s Play, which is set for release on October 30th.

“I’m genuinely grateful for this level of belief from one of the best labels in the world and I can’t wait to see what we will be able to do together – this will be fun!”
