Indie Label Big Loud Celebrates 10 Years of Superstar Discoveries
14 Nov
Summary
- Big Loud founders built label from publishing company, invested own money
- Discovered and developed artists like Morgan Wallen, Hardy, and Stephen Wilson Jr.
- Maintain independent spirit despite label's massive growth and success
In the 10 years since its founding, independent label Big Loud Records has transformed from a small publishing company into one of the most influential forces in country music. The label's trio of executives - Seth England, Craig Wiseman, and Joey Moi - have overseen the meteoric rise of artists like Morgan Wallen, Hardy, and Stephen Wilson Jr., all while staying true to their independent roots.
Despite their massive success, the Big Loud founders remain committed to their "pissed-off startup" mentality. They emphasize the importance of maintaining creative control and a focus on developing songwriters, even as the label has grown to rival the major Nashville imprints. This approach has paid off, with Big Loud discovering and nurturing some of the genre's biggest stars of the past decade.
