Under the leadership of CEO Adam Skuse, Starseed Entertainment and its associated record label are excelling in the country music scene — and doing so independently. Starseed was named Mediabase’s No. 1 Independent Label in Canada for the third consecutive year in 2024. Its unparalleled success at Canadian country radio last year includes two No. 1 songs, three top 5s, and two top 10s, making it the only label to have multiple No. 1 songs from a domestic artist on the country airwaves since 2023. The label has produced a whopping 11 chart-topping singles to date with popular artists like The Reklaws, Jade Eagleson, Dean Brody and James Barker Band. Skuse highlights community and collective prosperity within the label, and Starseed Records is known for ensuring its artists’ financial stability with a “net-profit” deal strategy that keeps talent and label executives on equal footing. If the artist wins, everyone wins.
