Billy Launches the Billy Dean Music Group (BDMG) Excerpted from a Nashville Business Journal article by Cynthia Yeldell... Country music singer Billy Dean has partnered with heavy-hitters in the business community to open music and song publishing company Billy Dean Music Group. Dean, who entered the scene as a contestant on "Star Search" and went on to release his debut album "Young Man" in 1990, has sold more than 6 million records and had hits such as "Somewhere in My Broken Heart" and "Let Them Be Little." He now wants to focus on the business side of the industry with his publishing company that will create songs and market them for use by record labels, movies, commercials and even cell phone ring tones. "The recording artist's career is kind-of like an athlete," says the 45-year-old. "You have a 10-year run if you're lucky and more than that if you are really lucky ... I want to take what I have learned and create a song catalog." Part of Dean's strategy is to create a catalog of original songs and buy catalogs of songs written by other artists. He plans use the expertise of his partners to market and brand songs that he hopes will be used in many areas outside of radio. Dean compared song catalogs to the stock market. If you pick the right songs they will be constantly in demand and will continue to generate money, he says. "Catalogs sell for five to 10 times their earnings," Dean says. "It's a good business to be in." Dean is starting the company with about 15 of his songs and he plans to bring on other song writers. "Real Things," a song written by Dean for his new company, has been recorded by artists Joe Nichols and will be released on Universal South Records later this year, he says. "My goal is to find new ways of distribution and help record labels have hits," Dean says. "I see this company growing into a multifaceted entertainment company." |
