Concord Invests in Azoff Company’s Indie Label, Giant Music

Concord has made a strategic investment in Giant Music, the independent record label founded by The Azoff Company. It has also entered a new global distribution partnership with Stem, which was acquired by Concord in 2025.

The agreement:

• Stem will serve as Giant’s global distribution partner, supporting the label with the infrastructure, expertise and hands-on execution needed to scale.

• Concord’s investment, the amount of which has not been disclosed, will aid Giant’s expansion across artist development, marketing, and global reach.

• The label will continue to operate independently.

Roster:

• Since 2023, Giant has accumulated a roster spanning pop, rock and hip-hop.

• It includes platinum-selling Cash Cobain, Australian singer Ruel, rapper FendiDa Rappa, Deb Never and Empress Of.

What they said:

• Jeffrey Azoff, CEO of Full Stop Management and COO of The Azoff Company: “We have assembled an all-star team at Giant led by Nate Albert, Shawn Holiday, and Matt LaMotte. Partnering with Concord and Stem takes everything to another level. This evolution of Giant Records will not only be a game changer for the artists on our roster but also the next generation of independent artists we are lucky enough to work with.”
