Iggy Azalea is making some major career moves. The rapper has signed a first-look overall deal with Universal Cable Productions and Wilshire Studios to produce television content.
According to THR:
Under the pact, she will collaborate
with both studios to create content millennial-focused programming that
focuses on topics ranging from social justice and tolerance to
empowering young women.
”Creating television that is
reflective of my generation has always been an aspiration of mine,”
Azalea said Tuesday in a statement. “I am incredibly excited to start
working on my ideas and am humbled that Universal Cable Productions and
Wilshire Studios have given me this once-in-a-life time opportunity.”
Azalea currently is serving as a
judge for The X Factor Australia and has directed several of her own
music videos. Her 2014 debut release The New Classic spawned the hit
single “Fancy,” making her the first non-American female rapper to reach
the top of the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
“Iggy is a strong, passionate voice
for her generation and has incredible creative instincts in all aspects
of media,” said Dawn Olmstead, exec vp development at UCP and Wilshire
Studios. “We already have projects in both the scripted and non-scripted
areas. We are very excited to have her join forces with us.”
Azalea’s producing partner, Patrick Hughes of Primary Wave Entertainment, put the deal together.
