Roy Orbison Jr. And Alex Orbison Take The Helm Of Orbison Enterprises

Following the recent death of Barbara Orbison, her sons with the late rock legend Roy Orbison have taken over the management and supervision of Orbison Enterprises, which includes the Roy Orbison estate and catalog and Still Working/Orbison Music publishing company. Roy Orbison, Jr. will oversee the Roy Orbison estate and catalog. He most recently co-produced, with Barbara, the acclaimed box set, “Roy Orbison: The Soul of Rock and Roll.”
Alex Orbison will oversee the operation of the successful Still Working/Orbison Music publishing company which includes such songwriters as Tommy Lee James, Terry McBride, Annie-Rose and new addition, Chase Yaklin. “Orbison Music is stronger than ever,” said Alex Orbison. “We have represented an impressive team of songwriters and we’ll continue to expand our roster. I’m looking forward to announcing more new signings in the near future.”
Wesley Orbison, Roy’s son from his first marriage, is focusing on the upcoming release of his debut album, “Spread Your Wings.” Therefore, plans for his involvement in Orbison Enterprises will be announced at a later date.
Barbara Orbison founded Orbison Enterprises in Nashville 20 years ago. Throughout this time period she continued to diversify the company. Her support of songwriters became the benchmark for Still Working/Orbison Music. To date, the company has represented some of the industry’s most successful songwriters, with recognition including BMI’s 2010 award for Song of the Year for Taylor Swift’s “You Belong to Me.”
In a joint statement, Roy Orbison Jr. and Alex Orbison said, “Our mother was a respected member of the international music business community. She was passionate about keeping our father’s legacy alive and she was passionate about her “family” of songwriters. We look forward to continuing and further developing her vision in the years ahead.”
