Warner Signs U.S. Indie Record Label DEFDISCO

New Partnership

ADA WARNER has added music agency and record label DEFDISCO to its roster of independent labels. The partnership was made by DEFDISCO Head of Label Operations BARRY GILBEY. Formed in 2014 in DALLAS by music producer GILBEY along with branding specialists JUSTIN WILLIAMS and PAUL HERRON, DEFDISCO, which also has a U.K. office in SHEFFIELD represents artists including PUBLIC ENEMY, KASABIAN and up-coming talent from both the U.S. and U.K.

“The quality of the artists, brands and agencies we are working with on both sides of the pond is first rate,” said GILBEY. “DEFDISCO’s understanding of music publishing and digital culture, and how they fit together for brands and broadcast, is very exciting for the future."

Speaking from DEFDISCO’s SHEFFIELD office, PAUL HERRON added, “For us this relationship really is proof of concept. We set out to build a record label for how things work today: music, sync and brand. I’ve always described DEFDISCO as a ‘mini-major’ and now we truly are. Joining forces with ADA WARNER gives our artists, and the brands we work with, worldwide exposure faster and better than we could ever do on our own. DEFDISCO brings the artists, music, ideas and capabilities to engage with millions of avid music fans and with the additional support of ADA WARNER’s innovative mindset, it will, no doubt lead us to an exhilarating future together.”
