Giangreco Named Pres./A&R, Big Loud Publishing
• Big Loud Publishing announced the promotion of 3x Variety Hitmaker and song champion Michael Giangreco to President of A&R, effective immediately. Giangreco began his tenure at Big Loud Publishing as an intern, working his way up to Catalog Manager, Creative Director, Label A&R Coordinator and now, this lofty presidential perch.
“Mike has been Big Loud from the start,” said Craig Wiseman, Big Loud Publishing founder. “Beginning with Kimberly [Gleason] saying, ‘there’s an intern you should keep an eye on,’ Mike has become a true, top-shelf publisher. He loves his writers and stands up for them and believes in them. Anyone who works with Mike is blessed to do so and we feel the same. Good on ya, Mike. You deserve this, brother.”
Seth England, Partner/CEO, Big Loud, commented, “From his first day, Mike has been an essential part of what we’ve built at Big Loud Publishing. He has an incredible instinct for talent, a relentless work ethic and a genuine passion for songwriters that shows up in everything he does. This is a reflection of both his impact and the trust we have in his leadership. Mike has become truly best-in-class in publishing and our artists and songwriters couldn’t be in better hands.”
Integral to the company’s success and cultural resonance, Giangreco has been a key player in the making of Morgan Wallen‘s record-setting albums I’m The Problem (2025), One Thing At A Time (2023) and Dangerous: The Double Album (2021), as well as each studio album by GRAMMY® nominated hitmaker ERNEST, including his critically-acclaimed Nashville, Tennessee.
Giangreco has also signed and overseen the rise of John Byron (Wallen’s No. 1 smashes “Just In Case,” “Love Somebody,” “Thinkin’ Bout Me,” “Last Night” and more) and Rocky Block (Wallen’s “Cowgirls,” Lil Durk collab “Broadway Girls,” Post Malone/Blake Shelton‘s “Pour Me A Drink”), and more. Giangreco also continues to work closely with Wallen and ERNEST, as well as fast rising band In Color signed to Big Loud Rock.
“I’m grateful to the partners (Seth, Craig and Joey) for their support and guidance,” Giangreco said. “It’s an honor to continue building the legacy of Big Loud Publishing. When I interned over 10 years ago, I was inspired to learn how a strong independent publishing company operated. We’ve grown and evolved since then, but the songwriters remain the heart of this, and I am proud to represent and support them every day.” [Image by Jessie Addleman]
