Maximum Artist Group’s Mitchell Solarek launched full-service label Maxx Recordings with a celebration in Nashville last night (May 14), where he also announced partnerships with Sony RED and New Day Christian for distribution.

Solarek introduced Maxx Recordings’ first signings, including 3for3, Kolby Koloff, and Riley Clemmons. Solarek’s Maximum Artist Group is home to artists including Natalie Grant, Danny Gokey, Donald Lawrence, and producer Bernie Herms.

Solarek says, “Through it’s initial signings, Maxx Recordings is committed to impacting fans of Top 40 songs by supporting and working along side artists who’s music and lyrics are positive and relevant in today’s music culture. Maximum Artist Group has always been committed to developing and introducing emerging talent into the market and Maxx Recordings is an extension of that commitment. We are proud to welcome 3for3, Kolby and Riley to our Maxx family.”

3for3 is a pop trio consisting of American Idol alum Spencer Lloyd, football player Josh Davis, and Benji Shuler, the son of CCM artist Kim Hill. Their single “Halfway” hits radio June 5, and their Bernie Herms-produced EP will be available June 30. Plans for a full project launch are slated for January 2016.

Koloff is a reality TV star that has appeared on two seasons of the popular Lifetime network series, “Preacher’s Daughters.” She is currently in the studio with producer Drew Ramsey. Rounding out the initial artist signings is Nashville native and Brentwood High School freshman Clemmons. Both artists are working on their debut projects.
