Concord Reveals Investment In Giant Music, Stem To Distribute Giant Music

January 21, 2026/by Lauryn Sink

Giant Music, the independent record label founded by The Azoff Company, has announced a new global distribution partnership with Stem.

Under the agreement, Stem will serve as Giant’s worldwide distribution partner supporting the label with the infrastructure, expertise, and hands-on execution needed to scale. Giant will continue to operate independently while benefiting from Concord’s investment and Stem’s global infrastructure.

Giant’s roster spans pop, rock, and hip-hop, including platinum-selling Cash Cobain, Ruel, FendiDa Rappa, Deb Never, Empress Of and more.

“We have assembled an all-star team at Giant led by Nate Albert, Shawn Holiday, and Matt Lamotte,” says Jeffrey Azoff, CEO of Full Stop Management and COO of The Azoff Company. “Partnering with Concord and Stem takes everything to another level. This evolution of Giant Records will not only be a game changer for the artists on our roster but also the next generation of independent artists we are lucky enough to work with.”

“Giant Music is grounded in a strong foundation and guided by a clear, forward-looking vision,” shares Bob Valentine, CEO of Concord. “This investment underscores our confidence in the Giant team, its exceptional roster of artists, and our shared commitment to empowering artists with the support they need to realize their ambitions.”

“Giant is exactly the kind of partner Stem was built for,” adds Milana Lewis, CEO of Stem. “There are longstanding relationships here, and it’s always rewarding to build alongside people you respect and enjoy working with. Giant has a reputation for delivering what others can’t. We’re proud to support them as an independent partner, providing the agility and infrastructure needed to bring ambitious ideas to life.”
