ADA Inks Global Distribution Deal With FTS Global Management.

ADA, the independent label and artist services arm of Warner Music Group (NASDAQ: WMG), today announced their partnership with FTS Global Management, which will see the company covering global distribution for FTS’ network of artists. The label, founded by former Hall of Fame athlete and banker Travis Wilson, boasts a roster featuring heavyweights across hip-hop, R&B, and dancehall, including, The Game, Eric Bellinger, and Konshens.

Cat Kreidich, President, ADA, said: “We’re excited to welcome a label led by a visionary committed to artist empowerment. This partnership perfectly aligns with ADA’s mission to not only distribute exceptional music, but also to foster the growth of enduring catalogs and cultivate new audiences.”

Travis Wilson added: “Blessed to have a lineup of powerhouse artists who chose me to lead them on this journey. My mission in this industry is simple: to ensure every artist I work with is financially literate and fully protected. With this new partnership, we’re not just making music; we’re building legacies that will stand the test of time.”

Emerging in the early 2000s as a pioneering voice on the West Coast hip-hop scene, The Game has landed three No. 1 albums and currently boasts over 12 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Eric Bellinger secured a Best R&B Album Grammy for his work on Chris Brown’s F.A.M.E., and has co-written for the likes of Usher, Justin Bieber, and Wale. Rounding out the label’s roster is Jamaican dancehall artist Konshens, whose catalog includes the Caribbean staple “Bruk Off Yuh Back” featuring Chris Brown, as well as collaborations with artists like The Chainsmokers, Cardi B, Doja Cat, and Pitbull, among others.

Powered by Simran A. Singh, Singh & Trauben, LLP, FTS Global Management specializes in financial literacy for artists and building long-term careers, rather than focusing solely on short-term gains. Since beginning his career, Travis Wilson has transitioned from a financial advisor to business and artist management, leveraging his unique expertise in both the financial world and the music industry to benefit FTS’ roster. Backed by a dedicated team encompassing A&R executives and specialists in accounting and credit management, FTS has built an expansive network through collaboration with labels across the country. With international ambition, FTS’ expansion plans heavily focus on regions in Africa, the Caribbean, and Canada.
