“As Red Street’s Christian division has continued to grow, it felt like the natural next step was for us to move into the Country Music space,” shared DeMarcus. “I am one of the genre’s biggest fans, and it feels like the right time to really hone in on the next generation of country superstars. The team that has come together is beyond my wildest dreams, I can’t wait to get started.”
