Kelly Rich has exited her position as Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Red Street Records, the label home to Chris Lane, Ryan Griffin, Neon Union, Ryan Larkins and more.

Rich joined Red Street Records as a consultant when Jay DeMarcus launched the label in January 2022, and was soon named COO. Prior to that, she was the Country Lead for Amazon Music based in Nashville. Her more than 35 years of industry experience also includes leadership roles at Big Machine Label Group (BMLG) and positions at UMG Nashville, DreamWorks, Arista Nashville, BMG and Western Merchandisers.

Rich has been honored as a Billboard Women in Music, a MusicRow Rising Women on the Row honoree and a Nashville Business Journal Women in Music recipient. She has been listed as a Billboard Country Power Player multiple times and named one of Variety’s Women Who Power Country Music.

“What originally was a consulting position turned into more but I knew once it was up and rolling the needs would change as the team was built out,” Rich shares. “All companies go through reorganization and this one allows me to refocus my attention on the next challenge.”
