“Brian brings a powerful combination of strategic thinking, operational leadership and partnership expertise,” Romain Vivien, global head of music at Believe, said in a statement. “His experience building and scaling businesses, along with his deep understanding of growth strategy, will play a critical role as we continue to expand TuneCore’s global ecosystem and create new opportunities for independent artists.”
Andreea Gleason announced in January she was stepping aside from her role as CEO of TuneCore and transitioning into a strategic advisor role for parent company Believe. Since then, Miller has been overseeing the company’s operations.
In his new role, Miller will focus on identifying new strategic partnerships, expanding the company’s presence globally and developing initiatives to help with servicing TuneCore’s artists and industry partners.
“Since joining TuneCore two years ago, one thing has been made abundantly clear: independent artists are the central force shaping the future of the music industry,” Miller said in a statement. “TuneCore has built an incredible platform that empowers artists as they begin to build and grow careers on their own terms while retaining ownership of their rights. I’m excited to step into this new role and lead the team as we continue to grow, launch new partnerships and expand our services to keep helping artists build sustainable careers.”
In November, TuneCore announced independent artists have earned more than $5 billion through the company.
