In 2015, in partnership with Island Records, Demi Lovato, and long-time manager Phil McIntyre, he launched the artist-centric record label, Safehouse Records. In March 2016, Jonas announced that his upcoming album, "Last Year Was Complicated," will be released on June 10. The first single off the album, "Close" featuring Tove Lo, was released in March. His co-writing credits on the album include "Chainsaw," "Unhinged," "The Difference," "Champagne Problems," and "Bacon." He is set to kick off his 40-city North American "Future Now: The Tour" with Demi Lovato on June 24 in Sunrise, Florida.

Swedish singer and songwriter, Tove Lo, set the universe on fire in 2014, when her first worldwide single, "Habits (Stay High)" impacted charts in the U.S., and No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 List and eventually passed 1 billion streams by late 2015. "Talking Body," Tove's follow-up single mirrored the global success of its predecessor, earning RIAA double-platinum status. The singles are featured on her critically hailed and platinum-selling debut album, "Queen of the Clouds," which entered the iTunes Alternative Albums chart at No. 1.

Demi Lovato - With a fan base that includes over 25 million Instagram followers, 31 million Twitter followers and 37 million Facebook fans, the singer-songwriter, actress and philanthropist released her fifth studio album titled "CONFIDENT" on October 16. Her debut smash single from the album, "Cool for the Summer" trended worldwide and hit No. 1 on iTunes in 35 countries upon launch. In partnership with Island Records, Nick Jonas, and long-time manager, Phil McIntyre, Lovato helped launch her own artist-centric record label, Safehouse Records. Her previous album, "DEMI," hit No. 1 on iTunes in over 50 countries and produced platinum singles, "Heart Attack", "Neon Lights" and "Really Don't Care." To celebrate the success of "DEMI," Lovato performed on stages all over the world when she embarked on two sold-out headlining tours ("'Neon Lights Tour'" and "Demi World Tour"), as well as countless national TV shows including "Good Morning America," "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," "Late Night with Seth Meyers," "Ellen" and more. This summer, Lovato will combine forces with Nick Jonas for the highly anticipated "Future Now: The Tour" visiting over 40 cities in North America. In addition to her musical accomplishments, the business woman and entrepreneur released her New York Times best-seller, "Staying Strong: 365 Days a Year" and launched her very own skin-care line, DEVONNE by Demi.
