Warner Records, Tim Hinshaw To Launch Free Lunch Records
WARNER RECORDS has teamed up with TIM HINSHAW to expand his FREE LUNCH AGENCY into a full-fledged record label, launching FREE LUNCH RECORDS as a new home for emerging talent.
As part of the expansion, ERICKA COULTER will serve as GM of FREE LUNCH RECORDS while continuing as SVP/A&R at WARNER RECORDS. The label’s first signees are SYD and ALEX ISLEY.
WARNER RECORDS Co-Chairman & CEO AARON BAY-SCHUCK said, “TIM is immersed in the vast culture of Hip-Hop and R&B, across music, sports, fashion, and live entertainment, and together we’ll work towards our shared goal of uplifting the best and brightest in the genre.”
HINSHAW added, “By uniting FREE LUNCH AGENCY with WARNER RECORDS, we can combine our expertise in creative, music, and brand building to elevate the first-class roster.”
HINSHAW is AMAZON MUSIC’s former Head of Hip-Hop and R&B. He worked on major industry partnerships, including live streams of J. COLE’s DREAMVILLE FESTIVAL, SUMMER WALKER’s ATLANTA Homecoming show, and TYLER, THE CREATOR’s CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST LIVE concert. He previously held roles at FENDER GUITARS and VANS before co-managing his brother, songwriter PRINCE CHARLEZ.
FREE LUNCH RECORDS Launches Two Artists:
SYD, known for her work with THE INTERNET and co-writing BEYONCÉ’s “Plastic Off The Sofa.”
ALEX ISLEY is a two-time GRAMMY® nominee following in the footsteps of her father, ERNIE ISLEY, with collaborations alongside MASEGO and TANK.
