Valentine has been promoted to General Manager. The biz veteran has spent four decades in radio and record promotion, with previous stints at Big Machine and Sony Nashville, following programming roles for CBS Radio (now Audacy) and others.

After consulting for label, Kelly Rich officially joins the team as COO. Her 30+ years in the biz include leaderships roles at Amazon Music as Head of Country Music and at Big Machine Label Group as SVP of Sales, Marketing and Interactive.

Andy Elliott joins as SVP of country promotion, most recently serving as RECORDS Nashville's co-head of promotion. Emily Bermann has been added as Director of Field Promotion.

Harrison Sokoloff has been added as Director of Publishing and A&R, reporting to Senior Director of A&R Kelly King.

“I’m so proud of what Red Street Records is already is and what it continues to become,” said Owner/CEO Jay DeMarcus. “We have such an amazing team, and we’re continuing to add the best of the best. Together, I know we’re going to accomplish incredible things.”

The label's current Christian roster includes Avalon Worship, Cade Thompson, Iveth Luna, Jason Crabb and Lauren Camey, and launched Red Street Country earlier this year with Co-Owner/Chairman Dan Crockett.
