LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) – ADA, the independent label and artist services arm of Warner Music Group (WMG), announced its partnership with FTS Global Management today. The company will cover global distribution for FTS’ network of artists. The label, founded by former Hall of Fame athlete and banker Travis Wilson, boasts a roster featuring heavyweights across hip-hop, R&B, and dancehall, including The Game, Eric Bellinger, and Konshens.
Cat Kreidich, President of ADA, said, “We’re excited to welcome a label led by a visionary committed to artist empowerment. This partnership perfectly aligns with ADA’s mission to distribute exceptional music, foster the growth of enduring catalogs and cultivate new audiences.”
Wilson added: “Blessed to have a lineup of powerhouse artists who chose me to lead them on this journey. My mission in this industry is simple: to ensure every artist I work with is financially literate and fully protected. With this new partnership, we’re not just making music but building legacies that will stand the test of time.”
Emerging in the early 2000s as a pioneering voice on the West Coast hip-hop scene, The Game has landed three No. 1 albums and currently boasts over 12 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Eric Bellinger secured a Grammy for Best R&B Album Grammy for his work on Chris Brown’s FAME and has co-written for Usher, Justin Bieber, and Wale. Rounding out the label’s roster is Jamaican dancehall artist Konshens, whose catalog includes the Caribbean staple “Bruk Off Yuh Back” featuring Chris Brown, as well as collaborations with artists like The Chainsmokers, Cardi B, Doja Cat, and Pitbull, among others.
Powered by Simran A. Singh, Singh & Trauben, LLP, FTS Global Management specializes in financial literacy for artists and building long-term careers rather than focusing solely on short-term gains. Since beginning his career, Wilson has transitioned from a financial advisor to business and artist management, leveraging his unique expertise in both the financial world and the music industry to benefit FTS’ roster. Backed by a dedicated team encompassing A&R executives and specialists in accounting and credit management, FTS has built an expansive network through collaboration with labels across the country. With international ambition, FTS’ expansion plans heavily focus on the African, Caribbean, and Canadian regions.
