Blaine Barcus has been tapped to lead Integrity Music as President. He takes the helm from Jonathan Brown, who will step into a new role as the label’s Chief Global Officer.

Barcus most recently served as Senior Vice President of A&R at Provident Entertainment, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, after previous stints at Word Entertainment/Warner Music Group and Creative Trust.

He holds a B.A. in communication from the University of Missouri, and moved to Nashville in 1996 to pursue his dream of working in Christian music. Since then, Barcus has worked as a tour manager, drummer, artist manager and label executive. Over the span of his music career, he has worked directly with artists including Zach Williams, Cain, Third Day, Matt Maher, Steven Curtis Chapman, Matthew West, Building 429, I Am They, David Leonard, Ben Fuller and Seph Schlueter.

“Blaine’s reputation in the Christian music industry for developing and launching artists as well as
shepherding songs to CCLI success is second to none,” says Bill Reeves, CEO of David C Cook, Integrity Music’s parent company. “I’m thrilled to have Blaine join Integrity Music to help expand the label’s opportunities while continuing the great missional work of equipping the church through songs of substance that transform lives.”

“It is truly an honor and blessing to join the amazing team at Integrity Music,” Barcus says.
“Integrity has an incredible legacy of equipping the worldwide church by supporting and serving
worship leaders, artists and songwriters. I hope to play a small part in continuing the Kingdom
impact of this great organization by pouring into the next generation of Christian creatives.”

Starting in 2011, Brown served as Integrity Music’s Vice President/Managing Director until he assumed the position of President in 2017. In this new role, he will expand international partnerships and reach for both Integrity Music and David C Cook.

“Jonathan has led Integrity Music with a strong vision for its missional purpose and global reach,” says Reeves. “It’s that heart for the nations so apparent in his work that I wanted to expand his role to seeking global opportunities for the growth of our music and book publishing business units.”
