Ryan Hamilton

With over 17 years of experience in the music industry, I am dedicated to fostering relationships and driving strategic growth in this dynamic field. Currently, I lead digital partner negotiations, successfully securing multimillion-dollar advances, minimum guarantees, and royalties that fuel long-term business growth for my organization. My expertise in account management with top digital service providers (DSPs) has been crucial in navigating the complexities of today’s music landscape.

I pride myself on cultivating key partnerships with leading rights administrators and major DSPs, including Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Google/YouTube, TikTok, and Meta. These relationships are instrumental in enhancing our market position and supporting the continued success of our prestigious portfolio, featuring notable artists such as Jason Aldean, Five Finger Death Punch, Tim McGraw, Chris Stapleton, Daddy Yankee, Dropkick Murphys, Ingrid Michaelson, and T.Rex.

In my role, I orchestrate our masters catalog strategy, onboarding and developing business strategies for newly acquired catalogs while overseeing both physical and digital distribution processes. My efforts have driven significant revenue growth, particularly through innovative marketing activations for high-profile artists.

Beyond my business acumen, I have effectively implemented cross-departmental CRM systems like Airtable, streamlining operations and promoting collaboration across A&R, Sync, Licensing, and Administrative teams. Additionally, I spearheaded a company-wide rebranding initiative, optimizing our web and social platforms to unlock new sales opportunities and enhance our digital presence.

I am always eager to connect with fellow professionals, explore collaborative opportunities, and share insights into the evolving music industry landscape.
