About RED Creative Group:
In late 2014, Jeremy Stover made a strategic move in Nashville's dynamic music landscape by founding RED Creative Group. From its headquarters in the lively Berry Hill area, the company quickly distinguished itself in the industry. With a track record of over 500 cuts and 50 singles, RED Creative Group has demonstrated a consistent ability to deliver hits such as "You, Me & Whiskey" by Justin Moore + Priscilla Block, "7500 OBO" by Tim McGraw, "Wild As Her" by Corey Kent, "How Not To" by Dan + Shay, "Sleep Without You" by Brett Young, and "After A Few" by Travis Denning. Stover credits the company's success to hard work and a strong, positive culture that encourages creativity and collaboration.
The company is a creative core in the heart of Nashville where a talented roster of writers, artists, and producers come together to create. This approach has not only solidified RED Creative Group's status as a top independent music publisher but also as a frontrunner in artist development, securing major label record deals like Travis Denning, Noah Hicks, and Adam Hambrick.
In 2018, the launch of RED Creative Management, in partnership with Coran Capshaw's Red Light Management, marked a significant expansion. The management arm supports artists including Travis Denning, Noah Hicks, and Will Jones, underscoring RED Creative Group's commitment to nurturing talent.
Today, RED Creative Group stands as a respected independent force in music publishing and artist development. It's a testament to the vision of fostering a culture where creativity thrives, setting the stage for continued success.
