Shanachie Beefs Up With Mack & Millsap

• Shanachie Entertainment has added the talents of industry pros Marvyn Mack and Walter Millsap III to the company as Sr. Executive Consultants. Their new roles will expand the company’s A&R capacity via their extensive industry relationships and knowledge.

“We’ve known Walter and Marv for a long time,” said Shanachie GM, Randall Grass. “I’ve always been impressed by just how wide-ranging their knowledge and experience is. But just as valuable has been their focused, realistic and ‘can-do’ approach to working with Shanachie. Bottom line, we already have a great working relationship.” Indeed, in recent years, Mack and Millsap have partnered with Shanachie to bring the label successful projects by such artists as Angie Stone, David Hollister and Noel Gourdin.

Mack (left) previously held executive positions at Hollywood Records, Geffen Records and TVT Records, and has also served as Sr. Urban Consultant with a vast array of major labels, distribution companies and artists. “I’m excited to be part of the Shanachie team and working with Randall, again,” said Mack. “Walter and I really think Shanachie is a great fit for us. Shanachie’s priority has always been about the music first.”

“Working with Randall and Shanachie has been a seamless working relationship over the years,” said Millsap (right), who has achieved success as a music producer, songwriter, musical director, engineer, arranger, and deal maker, working with Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Brandy, Jennifer Lopez, Yolanda Adams and others. “Shanachie’s boutique hands-on-approach is refreshing. I look forward to continuing to be an asset to the company, bringing my vast years of experience and relationships. My goal in working with Shanachie is to continue searching for that HIT song and HIT artist!”
