We can confirm that veteran A&R hitter
Shawn “Tubby” Holiday will be joining
Irving and
Jeffrey Azoff to launch and oversee a new record label and publishing venture. Insiders expect
Sony Music to play a role in the new venture, as Holiday will maintain an ongoing business relationship with
Columbia, where he currently holds the title of Head of Urban Music. He'll also continue working with
Polo G,
Chloe x Halle and other Columbia artists.
Swirv commented, “Shawn has been an integral part of helping
Full Stop Management build an incredible Urban department and sign some of today’s biggest stars. He will join
The Azoff Company in all areas, including spearheading the launch of a new record label and publishing company.”
According to insiders, one of the names being considered for the label and pubco is
Shelli Music.
Rumor has it that a major signing will go down in the near future.
