Former UnitedMasters executives Mike Weiss and David Melhado will serve as its co-Presidents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">JIVE Records returns with a mission to honor its legacy while reimagining it for today\u2019s music landscape. Driven by bold creative instincts, JIVE Records, which will exist as a frontline standalone label, will focus on new signings across all genres.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cJIVE Records is deeply personal to me\u2014it shaped entire generations and the way I learned this business. Relaunching this iconic label with David allows us to carry forward JIVE\u2019s legacy of creative and operational excellence while proving that major labels can deliver both innovation and fairness for artists. The same artist-first philosophy that guided us at UnitedMasters is what we plan to bring to JIVE, and I\u2019m grateful to Rob Stringer, Peter Edge, and John Fleckenstein for trusting us with this legendary brand,\u201d states Mike Weiss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">David Melhado says \u201cI\u2019ve spent much of my career developing artists from the ground up, which has shaped my perspective on this business and what artists need to build lasting careers. Relaunching JIVE alongside Mike is an opportunity to honor its independent spirit and double down on developing artists while shaping culture. I\u2019m excited to work with Rob Stringer, Peter Edge, John Fleckenstein, and the entire team to bring this vision to life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">RCA Records Chairman and CEO Peter Edge states, \u201cWe admire the impressive results Mike and David have achieved in their careers. Bringing them in to lead JIVE Records feels like a natural evolution\u2014and a poetic way to revive a label that has been at the forefront of hip-hop and pop. Their sharp instincts and proven ability to discover and develop artists make them a great team to launch JIVE\u2019s next era.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/rca-records-relaunches-iconic-label-jive-records\/jve\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-62126\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62126\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jve.jpg 800w, https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jve-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jve-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jve-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jve-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jve-600x899.jpg 600w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jve.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62126\" src=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jve.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jve.jpg 800w, https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jve-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jve-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jve-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jve-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/jve-600x899.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Weiss and Melhado are modern executives who achieved incredible success at UnitedMasters by taking a holistic artist development approach with artists such as Brent Faiyaz, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/tag\/bigxthaplug\/\"><strong>BigXthaPlug<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, Floyymenor, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/tag\/nle-choppa\/\"><strong>NLE Choppa<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, Ekkstacy, Anycia and Sarz amongst others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">JIVE Records, which was founded in 1981 by Clive Calder and led for over 25 years by Barry Weiss became part of Sony Music in 2004 and the RCA Music Group in 2008.
