HOLIDAY TO JOIN AZOFFS IN LABEL/PUB VENTURE

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.
