UMG Nashville has officially announced a strategic partnership with Mosley Music, the independent record label founded by the renowned producer, artist, and songwriter Timbaland. This collaboration aims to explore and nurture new talent, with a focus on bridging cultural and genre gaps within the music industry.
“Over the past year, we have been working with Timbaland on the shared goal of developing great artists together as well as bridging the gaps in sound and culture in country music,” stated Cindy Mabe, UMG Nashville’s Chair and CEO. “I am so happy to finally announce our collaboration with Mosley Music on the heels of his prestigious induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Timbaland is one of the most iconic producers, songwriters, and artists in the last 30 years, merging genres and opening the doors to magnify cultural impact across genres. Hailing from Norfolk, VA, Timbaland’s reach and impact have been felt across pop, hip-hop, and country music, including working with and bridging sounds for artists like Bubba Sparxxx, For King + Country, and Brad Paisley. Timbaland continues to push open the doors making innovative cultural impact by pushing boundaries, and I am excited to join forces in breaking barriers in country music.”
Timbaland, who has been a prominent figure in the music industry for decades, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “I’ve been aligned with Universal Music Group the majority of my career as an artist and with my label Mosley Music, so UMG Nashville felt like the right place to partner for us in Country. I love their mission of taking chances on special artists to meet culture. Cindy, Chelsea, Charlene, Rob, Lori, Mike, and the rest of the team at UMG Nashville understand our vision and I know will be a great partner for us to continue to break artists.”
This partnership is expected to yield exciting developments in the music industry, with both entities committed to discovering and promoting fresh talent that challenges traditional genre boundaries.
