Republic Relaunches Mercury Records
Mercury will launch with a new roster including Post Malone, James Bay, Lord Huron, Jeremy Zucker, Chelsea Cutler, and Noah Kahan, as well as emerging talents BoyWithUke, Ka$hdami, Lyn Lapid, Stephen Sanchez, and Camylio. The label also has strategic alliances with Nashville’s Big Loud Records (Morgan Wallen, Lily Rose) and Imperial Music (Bo Burnham).
Since joining Republic in 2014, Arnold has been responsible for signing and developing Post Malone and partnering with super-producer Metro Boomin. He also signed Clairo, Bo Burnham, Jeremy Zucker, and Chelsea Cutler and led the initiative to team up with Big Loud Records in 2020. Adelson joined the label as an intern in 2007 and worked his way up through the ranks. His signings include Conan Gray, James Bay, Lord Huron, and Noah Kahan.
Arnold commented, “We’re very grateful to Monte and Avery for entrusting us with such a legendary label and brand. I’m so proud of our incredible roster and am excited to represent some of the most talented, influential and creative artists in music today. It is Mercury’s priority to lead as a creative company, putting our artists first and taking an energetic, entrepreneurial approach to A&R and marketing. We are building Mercury to become the modern music label.” Adelson remarked, “Tyler and I each began our careers at Republic and have worked together for almost a decade. We’ve leaned on Republic Co-Presidents Jim Roppo and Wendy Goldstein for their wisdom, perspective, and guidance and hope to bring that same leadership and forward thinking to our roles at Mercury. The path to success looks different for every musician, and Tyler and I are committed to fostering an environment where artists who are uniquely themselves can thrive.”
