Independent record label Rebel Engine Entertainment has launched an in-house Radio Promotions Division. The company’s new promotion team will be comprised of Executive Label Consultant, Mike Borchetta, Regional Director of Promotions, David Shaw and Regional Director of Promotions, Chris Borchetta. The team’s first order of business will be to secure airplay for flagship artist Stephanie Quayle’s new single “Selfish.”
“We are thrilled to welcome such a passionate, professional and knowledgeable team to Rebel Engine,” shares label Vice President, Carli McLaughlin. “Mike, Chris and David are truly top-notch, and we couldn’t be prouder to establish our Radio Promotions Division with their veteran experience.”
Mike Borchetta brings over 50 years of industry experience to the new promotions department. As Vice President of Curb Records, Borchetta played an instrumental role in signing Tim McGraw to the label and in moving the label’s headquarters from Burbank to Nashville. As head of indie label Lofton Creek, Borchetta took “I Loved Her First” by Heartland to the top of the charts.
David Shaw comes to Rebel Engine most recently from Reviver Records, where he fought for LOCASH’s No. 1 hit “I Love This Life.” He also spent 15 years at Columbia Records.
Chris Borchetta is a 15-year promotions veteran with stops at Big Machine, Lofton Creek, Category 5, and most recently Star Farm Promotions.
