Big Loud Records has added H. Read Davis as Senior Director of Digital, effective immediately. A Belmont University alum and Texas native, Davis joins Big Loud after previous stops at Spotify as Social Media Manager and Crowd Surf as Director of Creative Operations. He also interned at Chrysalis Music Group, Propel Music Group and Big Yellow Dog Music.

At Spotify, Davis collaborated on the multi-faceted launch of Spotify’s ’90s Country campaign, helped launch Spotify Hot Country’s annual Artists to Watch initiative, led social marketing campaigns around their most-viewed livestream at launch time with pop singer Lauv, and offered expertise on key album campaigns for artists including Adele, Thomas Rhett, Kacey Musgraves and more. At Crowd Surf, Davis helped orchestrate the social presence of Steven Tyler’s Janie‘s Fund charity, mapped out promotional strategy and on-site content capture for Seth Rogen‘s annual Hilarity for Charity event, and worked on social strategy, content, and release promotions for Cody Johnson, Black Eyed Peas, Matthew West, Chris Rock, and more.

“We are extremely excited to bring Read Davis on board at Big Loud,” shares SVP of Marketing, Candice Watkins. “Read’s attitude and expertise in digital culture made him an exceptional fit for our team; his leadership and creative contributions are already making an impact.”

“I’m so grateful to the entire Big Loud team for letting me join in the fun,” Davis adds. “It’s an incredible pool of talented minds doing incredible things for a roster of wildly talented artists, and I can’t wait to jump in.”

Ben Goodvich, Chase Butler, Rob Harvell and Bruce Johnson-Castille, who collectively tally over 50 years of music industry experience, have launched Southern Signal Nashville, a company aimed at developing independent artists. Jason Cross marks the company’s flagship signee.

“Southern Signal is an opportunity for us to work with talented and hardworking independent artists that are just a few contacts and resources away from accomplishing their dreams,” the founders explain. “Cross is loved the second he enters a room or steps on a stage. We have not met anyone in Nashville that is more loved by the locals for not just his incredible talent as an artist but also for being a genuinely great person. We’re excited to work with Jason to show the world what Nashville has seen for the past year and a half he has lived in town.”

“I’m absolutely thrilled and blessed to be signing a management deal with Southern Signal. It’s honestly such a perfect scenario to be guided and supported in the music industry by such hard working and motivated people such as the guys on this team. I know for a fact these men are driven to see me succeed and I also know they have what it takes to accelerate my music career,” Cross shares. “I’m fired up to take the leap into this next chapter of my life and excited to see what it has in store for me, Southern Signal, and anyone who becomes a part of this team in the future. God is good!”
