9th Street & Hallwood Ink Joint Venture
• 9th Street Records, which boasts a management roster that features Rich Amiri, OsamaSon, Lil Shine, and others, has forged a joint venture with Hallwood Media.
Founded in 2020 by Nissim Hershkovits and Harry Jenko in their college dorm room, 9th St. Records has amassed an impressive 1.5B+ streams across various DSPs over the past year. With a foundation built on an innate understanding of the internet, 9th St. distinguishes itself by intersecting fashion, culture, and music. Paired with Hallwood’s comprehensive infrastructure and resources, the venture offers a full suite of services that cover all aspects of an artist’s career.
Hallwood Founder & CEO Neil Jacobson commented, “I’ve had the good fortune of working in close proximity to some of the great young label heads of the previous two decades. Over the last year, I’ve watched Nissim and Harry grow into what I am sure will be the next generation of these leaders. 9th St. Records and its artists are a clear and defined aesthetic. That identity is always the foundation of movements that are timeless.”
Hershkovits stated, “Harry and I share lived experiences with our generation that allows us to relate to and understand how to scale artists in today’s world in a way that sets us apart from other labels. The vision has always been to grow our love for music into a multi-faceted entertainment company and this partnership with Hallwood is an exciting step towards achieving that vision.”
Jenko added, “Our focus isn’t on chasing fleeting hits but on fostering genuine, long-term artist relationships. We’re committed to developing careers that stand the test of time, championing artistry over algorithms, and creating a legacy of lasting music.”
