Streamsound will be focused on a unique artist development strategy that will release one artist at a time. Their first artist, Jaida Dreyer (right) has been working with Gallimore over the past few years and will release her first single in March. Gallimore, who has produced or co-produced nearly fifty #1 hits with the likes of Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Sugarland, Martina McBride and Lauren Alaina, will serve as the label’s creative visionary. Wilkes, who has also worked with Gallimore on various publishing and management ventures, will oversee Streamsound’s business operations.
“I’ve been interested in starting a label focused on and dedicated to developing artists,” said Gallimore. “The intent is to work with and nurture them – to give them the time that is needed to hone their craft. This business is all about great songs, talent, passion and drive. I really do believe that we’ve found all of that in Jaida.”
“At the end of the day, this business is all about the talent and the people that you have supporting that talent,” said Wilkes. “We intend to create a culture that takes the time needed to combine good old fashioned hard work with a strong creative business strategy.”
Streamsound has hired some veteran pros including Mike Wilson who headed up RCA Nashville promotions. Wilson will be responsible for the radio division. As regionals he has hired Theresa Ford, Steve Pleshe, Brad Howell and Jamice Jennings.
