Dallas Martin Named Pres. Of Asylum Records
Martin began his career in 2008 as an intern at Def Jam Records under the late Shakir Stewart. In 2011, he moved to Los Angeles to join Warner Records, where he secured a deal with Miami rapper Rick Ross and his Maybach Music Group, adding Maybach’s Meek Mill, Wale, and Omarion to his roster. In 2013, Martin transitioned over to Atlantic Records, where he signed the late Nipsey Hussle. He has also mentored up-and-coming stars like Cordae and Symba.
Seton noted, “Dallas is a true champion for his artists, with an unflinching commitment to helping them realize their musical visions. He’s the consummate A&R, who’s not only able to spot great talent but nurture that talent by spending endless hours in the studio crafting hit records. That’s exactly the sort of artist-first philosophy that we’re cultivating at the new Asylum. Together, Dallas and Gabby will make a fantastic leadership duo, backed by the brilliant Asylum team, as we continue to build the label into a coveted destination for the best in indie-spirited talent.” [Photo Credit: Lance Gross]
