Posted by J. Cole‘s Dreamville Records has expanded.
The company has announced both a media company, Dreamville Ventures, and a content studio, Dreamville Studios. Leading the new division are executives Damien Scott and Candace Rodney, who Cole says are “two of the smartest and most capable” execs in the business.
“Dreamville has always been a mom-and-pop operation with grand ambitions and ideas that extend far beyond music,” he told Variety. “The hiring of Damien and Candace not only expands our family business with two of the smartest and most capable executives in the industry, but allows us to take a massive leap towards turning those big ideas into reality.”
Dreamville co-founder Ibrahim Hamad also echoed Cole’s sentiments.
“Dreamville is a brand we built from the ground up and the appointments of Damien and Candace allows us to take the company to levels we’ve always dreamed of while keeping our core values and beliefs at the forefront of our expansion,” he said.
