BIG MACHINE LABEL GROUP PRESIDENT & CEO
SCOTT BORCHETTA
JOINS “AMERICAN IDOL XIV” AS MENTOR

 

IDOL Winner to Join Borchetta’s Talent Roster, which Includes
Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw, Reba, Rascal Flatts and Florida Georgia Line

AMERICAN IDOL XIV Launches with Two-Night, Three-Hour Premiere Event
Wednesday (1/7) and Thursday (1/8)

Los Angeles, CA – SCOTT BORCHETTA, President and CEO of the Big Machine Label Group and one of the most successful forces in the music industry today, has joined AMERICAN IDOL XIV as mentor to help shape the career of the competition’s winner. BORCHETTA’s relationship with the next AMERICAN IDOL will extend past the show’s finale; BORCHETTA’s Big Machine Records will partner with 19 Entertainment and Universal Music Group to oversee the launch of his/her recording career. The winner will join BORCHETTA’s Record label roster of superstar talent, including TAYLOR SWIFT, TIM MCGRAW, REBA, RASCAL FLATTS and FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE.

The Season XIV mentor role was re-imagined and stepped up to provide BORCHETTA’s unique perspective from early on in the competition – through the live shows, to the final winning moment and beyond. Borchetta joined IDOL during Hollywood Week, when he watched the performances in advance of offering his expertise to the contestants who continue in the competition.

“There’s only one reason I’m doing this: AMERICAN IDOL has proven again and again that it can launch superstars. I believe that working with these young artists the same way we work with new artists at the Big Machine Label Group will help the next AMERICAN IDOL be as prepared as possible to continue the tradition of creating new superstars,” said BORCHETTA. “The entire label group will be invested and we look forward to bringing our energy, focus and know-how to help develop this young talent at the highest levels.”

“This season Jennifer, Keith and Harry have found some truly talented singers, and the addition of Scott’s expertise in how to develop an artist gives our contestants a unique shot at success,” said Trish Kinane, President of Entertainment, Fremantle Media North America and executive producer, AMERICAN IDOL. “It’s been terrific to see Scott’s enthusiasm as he watched each of the performances at Hollywood Week and we can’t wait for America to see our hopefuls transform into superstars.”

“AMERICAN IDOL has been directly responsible for creating more music stars and selling more music than any other TV show in history. We are thrilled to partner with Scott and Universal Music Group to continue that tradition. Our contestants have the greatest platform ever created to become music superstars. They deserve the best and, again, they will get it,” said Jason Morey, EVP and World Wide Head of Music, 19 Entertainment.

“I’m stoked,” said David Hill, Senior Executive Vice President, 21st Century Fox.

“The greatest legacy of AMERICAN IDOL is that we produce legitimate stars,” said creator and executive producer Simon Fuller. “Over the years, not only have we made more stars than any other talent show in the world, we have also provided the very best people from the music industry to guide our singers and offer valuable advice. This year, we are thrilled to have one of the music industry's shining lights take on the role of mentor for our talent, overseeing their journey right through to the recording and release of the winner's album. Scott Borchetta is enjoying unparalleled success right now. Not only did he mastermind the incredible career of Taylor Swift, but also countless other incredible artists. We are extremely proud to have him on the AMERICAN IDOL team.”

BORCHETTA has been lauded as the modern day “music mogul” by Rolling Stone. Millions of fans know him as the man who discovered Taylor Swift and helped her ascend to global superstardom. With the recent launch of Swift’s first pop album, “1989,” Borchetta not only helped Swift garner 1.2 million album sales in the first week, but cemented her as the only solo female artist to succeed across multiple genres, and with three albums debuting with sales over one million copies. In addition to Swift, BORCHETTA has developed and signed more than 30 music acts, including Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, Reba, The Band Perry and Florida Georgia Line. BORCHETTA is responsible for helping various artists achieve more than 400 million album sales and sending more than 155 songs to No.1 through his career. He has a unique ability to cultivate talent and propel them to worldwide success. BORCHETTA’s Big Machine Label Group is the No. 1 independent record label in the world, based on sales and radio airplay. Under his leadership, BMLG artists have won multiple Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, Country Music Association Awards and Academy of Country Music Awards. Borchetta freely pushes standard record label boundaries, preferring to view his label as a content company, and has moved the group beyond music, toward complete cultural saturation.
 
AMERICAN IDOL XIV returns with a special, two-night, three-hour premiere event Wednesday, Jan. 7 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) and Thursday, Jan. 8 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

ABOUT THE BAND PERRY

One of the most dynamic acts in music today, The Band Perry has both achieved massive mainstream success and gained major critical acclaim since delivering their platinum self-titled debut. Introducing the sibling trio as a powerful new force on the country scene, 2010's The Band Perry offered up five hit singles, including the quintuple-platinum chart-topper "If I Die Young" and other platinum hits - the #1 "All Your Life" and "You Lie" - as well as "Hip to My Heart" and "Postcard from Paris." For the band's gold-certified second album Pioneer, frontwoman Kimberly Perry and her younger brothers Reid and Neil delved deeper into an edgy, rock-and-roll-inspired sound while staying true to their Southern roots. Featuring the platinum #1 single "Better Dig Two" and the gold #1 "DONE." (plus smash hits "Don't Let Me Be Lonely" and "Chainsaw"), Pioneer found The Band Perry widening their appeal and continuing to showcase their breathtaking three-part harmonies.

In recent years, The Band Perry has earned multiple awards from the likes of The Academy of Country Music, The Country Music Association, CMT Music Awards, and The American Country Awards. They have also received nominations from The American Music Awards, The Billboard Music Awards, and the Grammy Awards. Named Vocal Group of the Year by the ACM in 2014, the group also kicked off the WE ARE PIONEERS WORLD TOUR in late 2013 and quickly established themselves as a global powerhouse. Their latest single, a spirited rendition of Glen Campbell's "Gentle on My Mind" also appears on the soundtrack for I'll Be Me, a documentary about the country music legend. The band is currently at work on new music for their upcoming third album.

Glen Campbell's Wife Issues Statement In Regards to His GRAMMY Nominations Cover Art Courtesy of Big Machine Records NASHVILLE, TN  – In response to the three GRAMMY nominations earned December 5 by the music from the new, critically-acclaimed documentary GLEN CAMPBELL...I’LL BE ME, Glen Campbell’s wife, Kim Campbell, has issued the following statement on behalf of the entire Campbell family:  "We were ecstatic that the Recording Academy honored Glen with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012 while he was still able to comprehend the love and appreciation of his peers. And now for them to honor him again with a nomination for a song he recorded while descending into the later stages of Alzheimer’s, there just aren’t words enough to express how blessed we feel. This song tells the truth of what it’s like to loose your memory and yet be at peace with it. It would not have been possible without Glen’s producer/co-writer Julian Raymond. Julian knew how to reach the unreachable recesses of Glen’s mind and bring his soul into this recording. Scott Borchetta of Big Machine Label Group embraced this song and brought it to the ears of the world while James Keach and Trevor Albert brought it to the eyes of the world in the documentary Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me. We are very proud of Glen and grateful for God’s grace. We thank the Recording Academy for their love and for bringing attention to the plight of those who live with Alzheimer’s by recognizing this song. Best Country Song  "I’m Not Gonna Miss You" (Glen Campbell, Julian Raymond)  Best Song Written for Visual Media  "I’m Not Gonna Miss You" (Glen Campbell and Julian Raymond)  Best Country Duo/Group Performance "Gentle On My Mind" (performed by The Band Perry)  Track from GLEN CAMPBELL…I’ll BE ME Soundtrack EP The GLEN CAMPBELL…I’LL BE ME Soundtrack EP was released on Big Machine Records.  # # #
