Hitmaker Forms New Joint Venture With Origins Records Focusing On Country & Americana

August 14, 2024/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Hitmaker Music Group/Hitmaker Distribution has formed a new joint venture with Origins Records that will focus on developing and serving country and Americana artists.

Leading the JV are industry veterans Gina Miller, formerly SVP/GM of MNRK Music Group, and Kadeem Phillips.

“I am truly excited to embark on this journey to build and create something fresh and impactful for Indie artists. To do so alongside Kadeem Phillips, whom I consider the Clarence Avant of his generation, combined with a team of passionate individuals that I deeply respect makes this special,” shares Miller, CEO of Origins Records. “Thank you to Hitmaker and Tony Bucher for collaborating on this joint venture partnership that will support and serve artists of multi genres, while allowing us to focus primarily on Black country and Americana music.”

Bucher, Hitmaker’s Founder and CEO, says, “Hitmaker being involved with marketing for hits like Breland’s ‘My Truck’ and Shaboozey’s ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’ really sparked this organic partnership and our desire to enter Nashville and Music Row from a unique perspective. We look forward to working with our new partners at Origins Records to amplify the multi genre artists on their roster.”

To kick off the new partnership, Tae Lewis will drop his single“ Angels at First” and David Junior will release his single “Pour2” in September.
