Who are we? We are a North Carolina based record label and film company that specializes in original sounds from unique musicians in full bloom sonically and artisically, who may be overlooked by bigger, uppidy labels. I’m also a former sheriff. That was before I was accused of being a werewolf and murdering half the population of a small mountain town, all a misunderstanding. My Daddy Chet is an oil tycoon and owner/executive director of the Full Bloom Records label and the CEO of the famed Chet Unlimited talent agency.

The music industry is constantly changing and it belongs to those who choose to think outside the box. We offer the next business model in music rather than the traditional one. We select our artists very carefully and don't represent many at one time because frankly, they're a pain is the ass to deal with. This enables us to further an artist's reach and maximize their exposure. 

We seek musicians who have self motivation, a fan base, a brand and a reputation for excellence on their own (seriously, I'm an A&R man for Full Bloom but I like to fish and race cars so I can't just make your career happen). You better be able to write songs too, I don't deal with no fakes or phony "singer-songwriters". I feel like these are essential traits that enable us to help a musician take the next big step in their career. I don't care if you have a Facebook page and you went to a songwriting seminar either, I don't need you to contact me just so I can tell you that you suck over the phone.

We want to help real artists who have put in the hard work and effort to help themselves which makes for a great relationship that is realistic for Full Bloom and the talent it chooses to represent. Like that Matt Walsh boy, now he's good. Hey nitwit, this translates back into, I can't make you but I sure as hell can make it easier for you to make it. Full Bloom is a label that believes in quality music and we always have our ears open for new sounds and cat calls. I like a drink every now then too. Call me sometime (828) 649-2721.
