Seth England accepts the Executive of the Year award at Billboard’s Country Power Players 2024.
Seth England:
Hey, everyone. I just want to start by saying thank you for such a huge honor. I’m a little overwhelmed, to be honest, by such a big honor when in so many ways, I feel like, you know, the mission of Big Loud is just getting started. But today, I stop and realize that it’s been about nine or 10 years, almost on the nose for the record label. And it just it astounds me, because I remember a moment when we counted the money we’d saved in the account. And we knew we had three and a half years if we’d sold no records, and we did sell some records and we kept going.
Big Loud’s a creator first business. So I’d like to first start off by thanking the creators to the big artists, songwriters, and record producers — we are nothing without your genius and creative spirit. I will also want to give a big shout-out to the department heads and employees at Big Loud. This award is just as much yours as it is mine. Big Loud was never just about myself, Joey Craig, and Chief. It’s about all of us.
I also want to give a big shout out to my wife, Kiyah, who constantly supports the crazy schedule we have. This week alone, we rented an Airbnb to bring our children down, because we have to go to New York right away on Friday and couldn’t imagine being gone that long.
