Leo33 is an independent record label founded in 2023 in Nashville, Tennessee.[1]

Background

[edit]

The record label was founded by Katie Dean and Rachel Fontenot, two former Universal Music Group Nashville senior executives, and has its headquarters in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood of Nashville.[1] Its name was inspired by the constellation Leo and the long-playing vinyl format.[1]

It was announced in September 2023, that country artist Zach Top was signed as the label's flagship artist.[2] "Sounds Like the Radio" was released on January 8, 2024, as Top's debut single and the label's first release,[3] and was followed by Top's debut album, Cold Beer & Country Music, on April 5, 2024.[4]

In 2024, the label expanded its roster to include solo country artists Jenna Paulette and Ashland Craft, and Americana and heartland rock band Jason Scott & the High Heat.[5][6][7]
