Thirty Tigers is an American entertainment company that offers music marketing, distribution, and management services to independent artists. They are based in Nashville, Tennessee[1]
History
It was founded in 2002 by David Macias and Deb Markland, and is distributed by RED Distribution.[2][3]
In 2014, Thirty Tigers entered into a "strategic partnership" with Columbia Nashville, to promote Chase Rice's single "Ready Set Roll" to Top 40 Country Radio. This was an unprecedented agreement because it may have been the first time a major country label offered their radio promotion services to an artist who was not on their label.[4][5]
In 2016, Thirty Tigers partnered with Triple 8 Management and Sony Music to create the country label Triple Tigers.[6] Triple Tigers signed Russell Dickerson and Scotty McCreery as the first acts to their roster.
Overview
Thirty Tigers is not a record label, but releases around 45 albums per year for artists who retain ownership and control of their music and career choices.[7]
