Former V2 boss launches new label
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 30 September 2010
David Steele, formerly MD of V2 Music, has announced he has launched a new music company called Hi Tone Music which will operate as both a label and management company. The venture opens its doors with two artists already on board, three-piece Tape The Radio and singer songwriter Jess Hall.
Commenting on his new venture, Steele told CMU: “I was very proud of what we achieved at V2 with our artists. I have always believed in signing artists who have the ability to have long and successful careers and it is those principles at the core of Hi Tone Music. I have been fortunate to have found two music loving investors David Salsbury and Nick Yalden to enable Hi Tone Music to develop our signings on our own terms and with our shared vision”.
On his artists, he continued: “Tape The Radio, I believe, have the ability to become a highly successful global rock band and Jess Hall has incredible ability for someone so young with the most amazing voice that her potential is unlimited. So a pretty good start!”
