Music Executive Brian Nelson, who spends time in New York and Nashville has been named GM of the newly formed Stone’d Records. Nelson has worked as a manger for artists such as James Otto, Chuck Wicks and Monty Powell. The new label, based in Bristol, United Kingdom, was recently launched by Grammy winner Joss Stone with a mission to develop unique artists regardless of genre.
Currently the label roster includes Stone and rock band Yes Sir Boss. Joss Stone, who has sold over 10 million records worldwide, is currently recording her next project with producer Dave Stewart in Nashville. “Back In Style,” Stone’s first single from the new album can be downloaded by programmers at airplaydirect.
“I’m so excited to launch Stone’d Records. This has been a lifetime dream of mine,” says Stone. “I’m passionate about music in its most honest form. That’s why it was so important to me to create a safe haven where great artists are free to do what they do best, create real music without compromise.”
