Shelter Hires Haller, Expands Internationally

• Shelter Music Group has tapped veteran label executive Tyson Haller as SVP of Promotion & Artist Strategy, based in New York. The news follows Shelter Music’s recent international expansion via a new partnership with AYITA to bolster the company’s artist management division, increasing its management roster to 107 clients, overseen by 42 employees with offices in Los Angeles, Nashville and London, helmed by the executive team of CEO Carl Stubner, COO Brian Harris Frank and President Dino Paredes.

Haller (pictured) comes off a three-year stint with Concord Recorded Music, where he rose to SVP/Head of Promotion. Haller joined the Concord team in February 2019, coming off a seven-year run with Alternative Distribution Alliance Worldwide (ADA), where he rose to SVP of Promotion & Label Services. Haller’s 20+ years of experience also includes earlier promotion roles at EastWest, Virgin and Elektra Records.

In making the announcement, Stubner said, “Bringing in an executive like Tyson is an important step for our company in furthering our commitment to our clients by providing the highest level of service. We are thrilled to have him on our team and look forward to his contributions. I’m so proud that, over the past two years, Shelter has grown into an international full-service management company with a robust shared services staff that provides marketing, radio promotion, digital strategy and brand partnerships to our diverse roster.”

Haller remarked, “I’m tremendously excited to be joining Shelter Music Group in this newly created role. Carl, Brian and Dino are developing a forward-thinking management company for the future that will be able to address all of their artists’ needs on every level. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of such an amazing team and can’t wait to get started.” Haller can now be reached at tyson@sheltermusic.com.

But Wait! There’s More! Shelter has also promoted Nashville-based Clay Busch to VP of Brand Partnerships, and has expanded its London office with the addition of Marco Gattinoni to the artist management team. The company also announced several new artist signings: Des Rocs, Austin Meade, Japanese Alt/Metal band SiM, and Micky James. Shelter Records also recently signed Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and multiple Grammy winner, Stewart Copeland, for a new project to be released in 2023. And on July 22, Shelter will release ZZ Top‘s Raw, featuring the final recordings of the band’s original line-up.
