History

Since early 2016, the label is based in Nashville's RCA Studio A, a historically significant studio founded by Chet Atkins, central to the creation of the Nashville sound movement, and adjacent to RCA Studio B. It is located on the famed Music Row. Both buildings have a rich musical history and are the location of recording for numerous stars including Waylon Jennings, Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Chris Stapleton, The Beach Boys, Ben Folds, Nancy Sinatra and Charley Pride.

In June 2016, the imprint label successfully negotiated a co-publishing agreement with its main parent company Warner/Chappell Nash and with a team of singer-songwriters consisting of Adam Hood, Aaron Raitiere and Charlie Pate.
