Dice Loaded, Ready To Roll
• Veteran entertainment pros “Jeff Z” (Zuchowski) and Chad Doher formally announced the launch of Loaded Dice Entertainment (LDE).
Initially conceived as an incubator label for emerging artists, LDE has quickly expanded into a full-scale entertainment company “designed with the goal of empowering independent artists and helping them release music in a creative, financially transparent and supportive environment that helps them find their voice throughout the journey.”
“Independent artists have long struggled to find the right resources to grow and sustain their careers in a super competitive market,” said Jeff Z. “With Loaded Dice, we are creating a space where artists can maintain full creative control while accessing the best tools for artist success.” Doher remarked, “By integrating different pillars of support we are not only giving artists a platform, but we are also giving them a full-fledged ecosystem to thrive in. The music industry is rapidly changing business and with Loaded Dice we are putting the power back in the hands of the artists.”
Jeff Z (left) began his career at Z100/New York before moving to Miami for a short time to work at The Box Music Channel. He later returned to New York to be a part of the relaunch of the iconic WKTU, where he spent the next 11 years, rising to Program Director before leaving in 2006. In 2012, after a stint as PD of CBS Radio’s KZZO/Sacramento, Jeff joined Pandora, and was later upped to VP of Label Relations.
As the co-founder of Global Pictures Media, Chad Doher (right) has executive-produced an impressive slate of high-profile films, including Arctic Dogs, The War with Grandpa, Replicas, and Rob Reiner‘s LBJ. He has also backed acclaimed projects such as The Book of Love with Jason Sudeikis & Jessica Biel, and horror standouts Bad Samaritan, Friend Request, and Followed.
In the weeks to come, Loaded Dice will be announcing a number of new signings and looks forward to helping build a new and more sustainable chapter of the music business.
