As announced with Billboard earlier today, ONErpm Nashville is proud to announce a joint venture with Huff Co., Dann and David Huff’s new production company, which will launch artists into the marketplace. Dann, a Billboard Producer of the Decade recipient, will be at the helm, with creative input from his brother, David, and other producers.
ONErpm, one of the fastest growing music companies in the world, will fund production, handle distribution and marketing, and co-own the master recordings. The artists will be signed directly to the joint venture, with ONErpm acting as the record company.
“Some artists we sign may already have a streaming foothold but want to grow their careers with the best in the business,” explains Tim Wipperman, managing director of ONErpm Nashville. “Others may be established artists looking for a more beneficial structure than a typical majors deal.”
“We want ONErpm to be at the forefront of finding new ways to build careers,” Wipperman shared with Billboard.
“This has been something that my brother David and I have talked about for years,” shares Huff. “Together with our good friend and attorney, Seth Lichtenstein, we are looking forward to partnering with ONErpm and pulling in artists who are willing to think outside ‘the box!’”
ONErpm, which founder Emmanuel Zunz created by putting technology at the forefront, remains on the industry’s cutting edge. The first music company to offer artists “real-time” online transparency via a marketing and management system called Amplifier, ONErpm’s proprietary technology allows artists and their teams to log on and get daily stats on how many people are streaming their songs—one of a long list of marketing tasks it handles on their behalf.
