NASHVILLE, TN (CelebrityAccess) — UMG Nashville announced the launch of its latest brand new label, Silver Wings Records.
The label is intended to support independent artists and creators and is an independent distribution and artist services platform backed by Virgin Music Group’s global distribution network.
Silver Wings Records is helmed by Charlene Bryant, UMGN’s SVP of Business Development & Strategy, who oversees the new label’s creative team.
“The independent artist community has rapidly grown and been a driving force in expanding the creative growth culture in Nashville’s music and entertainment,” says UMG Nashville Chair & CEO, Cindy Mabe. “Universal Music Group Nashville has seen the need to provide resources to grow, sustain and support the independent creator community. Once I met Hueston and felt his music and what he was striving to do as an independent artist, I knew it was time to build the investment. Hueston and his team of collaborators have vision and direction and are building their own path around his soulful emotional voice and his ability to mix darkness and light into his gift of music. It changes people. Like Hueston’s music, Silver Wings Records is intended to bridge and open the world of creativity to Nashville collaborators and country music artists.”
The new label’s first signing is up-and-coming artist/songwriter/ producer Hueston.
“I’m looking forward to starting this next chapter of my career with the team at UMG Nashville,” shares Hueston. “Cindy, Charlene, Chelsea and Hannah saw the vision from the very first meeting and I automatically knew it was going to be a great fit.”
