Seth England accepts Billboard's Country Power Players 2024 Executive of the Year Award.
Seth England:
Hi to all. 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, Big Loud's mission is just getting started. Today, though, I stop and realize it's been about nine or 10 years, almost in the mind for the label. And it just amazes me, because I remember a time when we counted the money we had saved in the account. And we knew we had three and a half years if we didn't sell records, and we sold a few records and kept going.
Big Loud is a creator-first business. So I'd like to start by thanking the creators of the great artists, songwriters and record producers — we're nothing without your genius and creative spirit. I'd also like to give a big shout out to the department heads and employees at Big Loud. This award is as much yours as it is mine. Big Loud was never just about myself, Joey Craig and Chief. It's for all of us.
I also want to give a big shout out to my wife, Kiyah, who constantly supports the crazy schedule we have. Just this week, we rented an Airbnb to drop off our kids because we have to go to New York right away on Friday and I couldn't imagine missing so much.
Keep watching to learn more!
