Universal Records South

Universal Records South originally began as Universal South Records in 2001 under Universal Music Group by record producers Tony Brown (4) and Tim DuBois. The label initially specialized in country music artists, but also signed contemporary Christian artists as well. When Brown and DuBois stepped down from Universal South in 2006, country record producer Mark Wright (2) took their place as label president, with a slight name change to the label. In December 2009, Toby Keith's Show Dog Nashville and Universal Records South were merged to form Show Dog-Universal Music.
