Rich Harris Signs with Prescription Songs in Partnership with Pray For My Haters
On August 5, 2026, producer, songwriter, and RIAA‑platinum‑certified engineer Rich Harris announced a new publishing agreement with Prescription Songs, executed in partnership with boutique creative firm Pray For My Haters. The deal signals Harris’s entry into a fresh publishing network that will back his work across both the music and sync markets.
Harris’s journey began in the St. Louis hip‑hop scene, where his knack for rhythm‑driven beats quickly earned him a reputation for blending punchy percussion with polished vocal performances. Over the years he has produced for a roster of contemporary artists—including SZA, DJ Khaled, Luh Kel, December 10, and Sexyy Red—and his tracks have landed in high‑profile brand campaigns for Giorgio Armani, the NFL, Maybelline, VH1, Google, and Hulu. In a statement, Harris described the partnership as “the dream team” and thanked the support he has already received.
Prescription Songs, founded in 2009 by songwriter‑producer Łukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald, operates as an independent publishing and licensing company that represents more than 150 songwriters, artists, and producers. The firm has a proven record of placing music in radio, streaming, advertising, and film, and has been involved in the creation of numerous chart‑topping pop and hip‑hop hits. Adding Harris to its roster expands the company’s reach with a producer who has demonstrated versatility in both studio and sync environments.
Pray For My Haters, the creative partner in the agreement, is a boutique agency that works closely with artists to develop and promote their catalogs. The firm highlighted Harris’s “depth, versatility, creativity, technical skill and relentless drive” as qualities that align with its mission. The partnership was described as a “full‑circle moment” for Harris, who first connected with the company through an online community during the pandemic via Tony Esterly.
A&R representatives from Prescription Songs—Chris Martingago and Sophia Battaglia—welcomed Harris to the team. Martingago noted that the signing marks the next phase of Harris’s career and expressed excitement to see his work in the studio and across releases. Battaglia added that Harris’s ability to bring any creative vision to life, coupled with his distinctive production style, will help his records stand apart.
The agreement is expected to open new avenues for Harris in both traditional publishing and sync licensing. With a background in brand placements and a growing list of high‑profile collaborations, the partnership positions him to secure additional sync deals for television, film, advertising, and streaming platforms. For Prescription Songs, adding a producer with a proven track record in both the studio and the commercial space strengthens its portfolio and enhances its ability to match music to diverse media projects.
The signing is now official, and Harris will begin working with Prescription Songs’ A&R and licensing teams to identify placement opportunities. No further details on specific projects or timelines have been released.
The move underscores the continued importance of publishing partnerships for producers active in both the recording and sync markets. By aligning with a company that has a broad network of industry contacts, Harris is positioned to expand his reach in an increasingly competitive landscape.
