Borris Named GM Of The Core Records
• The Core Records announces the appointment of veteran music industry executive Jon Borris as General Manager, overseeing the label’s day-to-day operations, focusing on artist strategy, A&R, marketing, and distribution. Borris joins the label following a successful six-year tenure at Republic Records, where he collaborated with artists like Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, Drake, Ariana Grande, The Weeknd, and Post Malone, and played a key role in ushering Big Machine Label Group’s Country crossovers into the pop landscape. Prior to Republic, Borris spent nearly two decades at Sony Music Entertainment, rising to Head of Pop Promotion for Columbia Records.
“We are beyond excited to have Jon join The Core Records,” said Chief Zaruk and Simon Tikhman, co-founders and CEOs of The Core Entertainment. “His unparalleled expertise in artist development, combined with his track record of success, makes him the perfect fit as we continue building the future of music.”
Borris remarked, “From the first conversation with Simon and Chief, I knew I wanted to be a part of The Core’s culture. What they and their exceptional team have built and already accomplished is extraordinary and my goals are to help magnify our brand, compete at the highest levels, and lead the mission to make The Core Records’ artists superstars. I can’t thank Simon & Chief enough for this tremendous opportunity.” Borris is on the job and can be congratulated at jon@thecorerecords.com.
