Greg Thompson Named Pres. Of Big Loud Mgmt.
• Veteran music industry executive Greg Thompson has joined Big Loud Management as President and Partner, effective immediately.
Thompson makes the move from his current position as President of Maverick Management/Live Nation in Beverly Hills, CA. Thompson previously held a long bicoastal position with Capitol Music Group/EMI, and enjoyed earlier promotional positions at Island Def Jam, Elektra and Chrysalis Records.
“I’ve worked closely with Big Loud in the past, and have been able to see what an incredible organization they have built,” Thompson said. “I want to thank Seth [England], Joey [Moi], and Craig [Wiseman], for this amazing opportunity to join the family. I’m thrilled to lead a group of world-class managers and have the privilege to be on the same team as some of the greatest artists in the world.”
In a joint statement, Big Loud partners Seth England, Joey Moi, and Craig Wiseman, said, “It’s hard to imagine how things could get better at Big Loud right now, but adding Greg to our company is exactly that. He is a leader, mentor, and first-class executive. We are very thankful to him for coming on board when he could have chosen just about anywhere. He will be key in overseeing all of our managers and assisting with each of their respective artists, not to mention being a key resource for us partners as well.”
Now expanding Big Loud’s footprint to Los Angeles, Thompson will continue managing clients Philmon Lee and Ananya Birla, while further elevating the leading Nashville-based independent management firm. Thompson can be congratulated at gt@bigloud.com.
