On the heels of a recent strategic investment from the Universal Music Group, digital distributor INgrooves announced a number of new artist and label signings.

Recent artist imprint signings include Jimmy Buffett (Mailboat Records), John Michael Montgomery (Stringtown Records), Kia Shine (Rap Hustlaz) and Everlast (Martyr-Inc Records), and new label clients include K-Tel International (Chubby Checker, Tina Turner, Little Richard), SMC Recordings (Killer Mike, Pastor Troy, San Quinn), Strange Music (Tech N9ne) and Paid In Full Entertainment (Paul Wall, Chamillionaire). SMC Recordings and Strange Music are international deals that will leverage INgrooves' new presence in the UK.
