Centricity Music

We launched a decade ago,” recalls Centricity Music VP of A&R John Mays, “when the music industry as we knew it was crumbling. The established labels—and I had just come out of one—were trying to figure out how to get ahead of the cataclysmic changes that were shattering the old business models. In hindsight, it was probably not the best time for someone to launch a new label. It was almost certainly not the best time to launch a new label that would be built from the ground up on a vision for relationship and patient, long-term, artist development. Not according to the conventional wisdom, anyway.” Now, ten years later, Centricity has grown into a lean and vibrant, three-pronged indie company with label, music publishing, and management divisions that operate cooperatively but autonomously under the same roof. Though they still boast one of the smallest artist rosters and highest staff-to-artist ratios in the business, they’ve fought hard to become a serious industry contender. The company is home to an impressive roster of artists and songwriters including, GRAMMY award winner Seth Mosley, Lauren Daigle, Jason Gray, Jordan Feliz, Unspoken, Aaron Shust, Jonny Diaz, Carrollton, JJ Weeks, and more.
