Big Loud Records is the label for many country bands, including Morgan Wallen, Chris Lane, Hardy and Jake Owen. Now, the new Big Loud Rock label will hire AJ Kasen as senior vice president of A&R.
Kasen began his career in the music industry with Lava Records in 2011. In 2015 he joined Better Noise Music as the label’s A&R director, before becoming vice president in 2017. Kasen will join Greg Thompson and Lloyd Aur Norman within the label. .
“We are honored to have AJ join the Big Loud family,†said Thompson, president of Big Loud Rock. “It’s exciting to have someone with his pedigree to continue and develop our commitment to the rock world. Teaming him up with Lloyd will give us the best leadership we can imagine. “
Big Loud Rock signed their first act, Blame My Youth earlier this year. The group is led by former Empire member Sean Van Vleet. The group will release their debut EP this fall as their current single, “Fantastic” climbs the charts.
