LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) — On Thursday, the Azoff Company announced the appointment of A&R executive Nate Albert as President of Giant Music.
Albert assumes the leadership role at Giant Music alongside the independent label’s current team, which includes co-founder Shawn Holiday, Matt LaMotte, and Charles Hamilton, among others.
“Nate invests his time, energy, and love into everything he touches. We can’t believe how lucky we are to be bringing him into the Giant family. Please hurry up and send this release out before he changes his mind,” said Irving and Jeffrey Azoff in a joint statement.
“I am thrilled to help build a new label from an artist’s and manager’s perspective in 2024. Irving and Jeffrey have a sterling reputation as defenders of artists’ rights and that spirit and point of view will continue to thrive at Giant Music,” Albert said. “The goal is not just to create another option for the creative community, but to create a place for the creative community to call home,” added Albert.
Albert joins Giant Music from Warner Records, where he was instrumental in signing artists such as Omar Apollo and Teddy Swims, among others. He also held senior roles at Capitol Records and Republic Records.
Albert began his music career when he was just 13 as the guitarist, songwriter, co-producer, and founding member of the multi-platinum selling band, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
