Big Loud Records Appoints Jordan Pettit & Stacy Blythe
Big Loud Records has appointed Stacy Blythe and Jordan Pettit as Co-Presidents. Blythe, who joined Big Loud Records in 2015 and has proved integral in building the history-making powerhouse label from ground zero to goliath-status, transitions from her current role as EVP of Promotion, effective immediately. Pettit is set to transition from his role as Vice President of Artist & Industry Relations for Opry Entertainment Group where he played a critical role in expanding the organization’s programming strategy. He will begin in his new position at Big Loud Records on February 2. Both Blythe and Pettit will report directly to Big Loud Partners Seth England, Joey Moi and Craig Wiseman.
Together, Blythe and Pettit will oversee all label operations — including artist development, A&R, promotion, marketing, merch, strategic planning and special projects — as Big Loud enters its most ambitious and globally focused era to date. The leadership expansion marks a defining moment for Big Loud Records as it continues to trailblaze new paths in modern country music. As part of her new role, Blythe will continue to lead the Big Loud Records promotion team.
“Stacy’s impact on Big Loud has been felt from the beginning — her dedication, vision and leadership have shaped our culture and our success in profound ways,” says England. “As she steps into this new role, it feels like a win for everyone who has grown alongside her. At the same time, we’re thrilled to welcome Jordan, whose experience and relationships across the industry bring fresh energy and perspective to our team. This combination of homegrown leadership and new expertise positions Big Loud for an incredible future.”
“Stepping into the role of Co-President is an exciting next chapter, and I’m deeply grateful to Seth, Joey and Craig for their continued belief in me, as well as the trust of our artists and team,” says Blythe. “Doing this alongside Jordan feels full circle — we started in the industry together, and this moment is especially meaningful. Big Loud Records has always been built on bold ideas, deep relationships, and a true artist-first mindset, and forward focus will be on strengthening alignment across the company as we continue to grow. I’m proud of what we’ve built together and energized by where we’re headed.”
Pettit adds, “I have long admired Seth, Craig, Joey, Stacy and the entire Big Loud team for the strength of the Big Loud brand and its cultural impact in Nashville and around the world. Over the years, Big Loud has consistently allowed me to feel like part of the family and am truly honored to now join this industry-leading organization. I am thankful to the partners for this opportunity to support the team at Big Loud and its exceptional roster of artists and creatives.”
