Lee Morrison has been named Managing Director of Seaside Music Group – a new music venture based in Brighton.
Morrison is the ex-GM of Believe Digital UK, where he spent six years before leaving in June.
Seaside Music Group is an extension to an established recording studio in Brighton, running both a label and 360 services company.
In addition, the group is set to launch a new studio, designed by renowned acoustic designer John Flynn and purpose built within an old Salvation Army headquarters close to Brighton seafront.
Seaside says it is aiming to “provide a full services deal for new and existing artists and will look to work with the best teams and technology worldwide to ensure an amazing route to market”.
Lee Morrison, MD Seaside Music Group said: “In the days of labels reducing investment in the recording process we want to buck that trend and give new and existing acts a real quality place to record and make the most of their talents, what we are going to grow is a hub of creative talent that will produce some amazing records.
“We are looking to attract the best artists, producers and managers.”
“We are looking to attract the best artists, producers and managers to work with us on this project. We have an amazing A&R and Artist Development Manager in the form of Max Rafferty from The Kooks and we will be looking to build the team accordingly.”
He added: “Gentrification is everywhere and in Brighton in particular many musicians & studios are being forced out of towns. With the purchase of our new building we can ensure we have world class recording spaces, accommodation and a creative complex close to the seafront and town centre which will be here for years to come.
“There is a lot do to but I am really looking forward to growing this business to be a long term success, this will be based on honesty, transparency and good old fashioned teamwork. Expect to see many more announcements in the coming months as the company grows and more signings are unveiled.”
Seaside Music Group is owned and invested in by a national telecommunications company.
