About us
Founded in 2010 by Bay Area native Ghazi, EMPIRE is currently leading through its innovative and progressive approach to the digital music era across its label, distribution and publishing arms. With its focus on early stage artist development, the San Francisco based company has been instrumental in identifying future icons and launching the careers of both Multi-platinum and Grammy Award winning artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Fireboy DML, Yung Bleu, Migos, Asake, XXXtentacion, and Anderson .Paak to name a few. After this early success, EMPIRE was quickly regarded as a tastemaker in the industry and premier independent record label. More than a decade in, EMPIRE continues to grow – expanding the Publishing division with a partnership with superproducer Hit-Boy and his Surf Club collective and acquiring Dirtybird Records in 2022 to amplify the Dance arm. EMPIRE has expanded the team throughout the globe on the African continent, Europe, Asia, North America, and South America. With the company and roster excelling at a breakneck pace, EMPIRE has effectively disrupted a stale business model by bringing its energy, expertise, and acumen to its artists and labels. Through crafting bespoke deals that are always in favor of the artist, EMPIRE is able to form a true partnership with each artist and label on its roster. Coupled with their unique software for analytics, recoupment, and royalties, which is available to every partner, the company offers a level of transparency unprecedented in the music industry.

Excited to share that Shaboozey has reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts with "A Bar Song (Tipsy)." This phenomenal achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire EMPIRE team, who have worked tirelessly to support and promote this incredible talent. Shaboozey has "carved out a unique space" (The New York Times) and "effectively changed the game" (Rolling Stone). He is truly "the future of country music" (NPR) who has put out a "genre shattering album" (The Recording Academy) that is "a perfect 2024 encapsulation of the American dream" (The Atlantic). Honored to be part of this journey and look forward to more milestones ahead!

#1. We are all Bootcut Kids now. 🤠 @shaboozey is walking paths that no one has walked before, creating history in real time at every turn. So grateful for him, the entire Boozey team of management, agents, publicists, & my @empire and @empire.nashville team. What a beautiful win. I have never worked with an artist that understood their vision, world and held true with such conviction like you do Booze. You’re a lesson for us all on how staying true and authentic works. To the Nashville community, partners and beyond, who have embraced this from the start and those that have supported us along the way. It is remarkable how many moving parts this is and how many incredible humans it takes. When I started at EMPIRE, I wanted to compete at the highest level. I wasn’t sure how to do that being an Independent label and yet, here we are, atop the world’s biggest stage and making history. This is cultural. This is a movement. This is Shaboozey.

Exactly 5 years ago I was in the middle of what would become a record breaking 19 weeks at #1 with a Black Man and a Country song - Lil Nas X & Old Town Road. This week I’m making history again with SHABOOZEY rising to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with A Bar Song (Tipsy). Lightning might not strike twice, but I do 🥂🤠 3x Platinum. 2nd Black artist in HISTORY to top the Hot 100 & Hot Country Charts (hats off to the 👑🐝). 1st song to make Top 10 Radio at 4 formats. So many amazing milestones and many more to come. Honored to be part of this incredible journey. Billboard #Hot100 #HotCountry

It FINALLY happened! After months of drilling “A Bar Song” into everyone’s feeds it finally hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100! 🤯 Here’s a few milestones the record achieved along the way: - the track is now 3x Platinum 💿 - #Shaboozey is the 2nd Black artist in history to top the Hot 100 & Hot Country Charts 🤠 - and “A Bar Song” is the 1st song to make Top 10 Radio at 4 formats 📻 This is definitely the height of my career in music as a whole ❤️🔥 🌟I’m very appreciative to have played my part in achieving this goal for Shaboozey and I’m proud to have done this at EMPIRE. This moment can remind all artists internationally that a new wave of opportunities is opening for you in the music industry. 🌟“A Bar Song” hitting #1 at an independent label like EMPIRE should serve as a memory to bookmark for the future. You can accomplish the largest accolades in music (#1 Hot 100 👀), work with the very best/most caring teams to support you 😬 all while knowing you retained ownership of your music.
