This remarkable list of industry executives, along with a roster of talented artists including Jon Secada, Cheap Trick, Stryper, Carnie Wilson, Country Singer/Songwriter Joey Daniels and other artists ranging from Dance and Club favorites to R&B, in a very short period of time have put Big3 Records on the map as an independent record company with the backing and the backbone of a major label.
