So grateful for these two men who also helped make this happen.. Thank you for continually taking care of me as an artist but most importantly a person. Who supports not only my music but sobriety and who were there at my party to celebrate my first year sober. That meant so much to me.. Thank you Ken Bunt and Mio Vukovic. Love you both 💗 #hollywood #island #safehouserecords

Last but not least… Phil McIntyre. This man not only believed in me when I was 15 and made my entire career happen, but he fought so fucking hard to get me sober. When so many others had given up on me, he never did. He told me he cared too much about me to watch me self-destruct.. Therefore at the very end of my drinking and using he gave me one last chance.. Get sober and he’ll stay, or he’d have to leave. He did that out of love. Not out of a money hungry I-don’t-give-a-fuck-about-the-artist kind of way… But he cared so much that instead of being the kind of person in this industry who could care less about my well being and continued to make money while I was spiraling, he stood his ground and said “If you do this I will fight this battle with you every step of the way.” I knew I couldn’t let go of him not only as a manager but as an extremely important person in my life who genuinely cares about me. He is one of the very few people who LITERALLY saved. my. life. I don’t think I’d be alive without him for many different reasons. Before I finish…. He’ll never take the credit either yet he deserves ALL the credit IN THE WORLD. So many other managers out there will try to become the artists themselves by putting their name out there just as much as their artist by doing interviews or photoshoots… But Phil is one of the most HUMBLE and hard working people I know. I can’t wait for our future together Phil. I’m SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU!!! Love you SO fucking much. #bestinthebiz #safehouserecords #thankyouphilmcintyre

Demi, whose last eponymous record was released in 2013, will release her as-yet untitled fifth studio collection through the label, which promises to ‘put artists in control’.

A statement from Nick and Phil released to Gossip Cop read: ‘Our focus at Safehouse Records is to put artists in control of their art while providing them the best tools to manage their careers … through our partnership with Island Records they will also have access to the best marketing and promotion available.’
