Big Loud Records

Moi moved to Nashville full time, and in 2011, the partners launched Big Loud Management under that belief system, taking more of an artist development approach that cultivates every part of an artist’s musical brand and veers away from standard industry practices, breaking the mold with their first three signings: diamond-certified, history-making country duo Florida Georgia Line, 3x chart-topping platinum singer Chris Lane, and 3x CCMA Entertainer of the Year Dallas Smith.

The all-inclusive model of the management / artist development arm became a fast-moving success story, leading the partners to double down and open Big Loud Records in 2015. An independent record label in the same building as both their independent publishing company and the management division, Big Loud started fostering songs from their infancy, taking the song from the writers rooms on the third floor, to Moi’s state of the art studio in the basement, to the label headquarters on the second floor; a synergistic experiment that quickly caught national attention with some of the best songs, artists, writers, and executives in the industry flocking to be part of the Big Loud story. 

Today, the three-part Big Loud system is comprised of burgeoning talent, global superstars, and genre standouts. The Big Loud Records roster includes Morgan Wallen, Lauren Alaina, HARDY, ERNEST, MacKenzie Porter, Hailey Whitters, Larry Fleet, Maggie Rose, Charles Wesley Godwin, Dallas Smith, Griffen Palmer, Shawn Austin, Lily Rose, Stephen Wilson Jr., Jake Worthington, Ashley Cooke, Lauren Watkins, Zandi Holup, Dylan Gossett, Blame My Youth, Jagwar Twin, Letdown., Yam Haus, BIZZY, and mercury.

Presently, Big Loud Publishing writers have penned over 200 singles, earned three GRAMMY awards, and tallied over 80 No. 1 hits to date.

Big Loud Management guides and fosters the careers of Wallen, HARDY, ERNEST, Dallas Smith, MacKenzie Porter, Ashley Cooke, Blame My Youth, Jagwar Twin, Griffen Palmer, Jake Worthington, and Lauren Watkins.
