Syntax Creative has added Outside Voices Entertainment, Sunday Worship Records, Apex Global Music Group and Arena Creative Services to its distribution roster.
“These are people who already understand how this works,” says Timothy J. Trudeau, CEO of Syntax Creative. “They’ve put in the time, learned how to pivot and built something real. That kind of experience changes the conversation from day one.”
Outside Voices Entertainment, led by Daniel Martin and Stefani Rose Martin, joins Syntax with an established catalog that includes Martin and Rose Music, a children’s catalog with more than one million monthly listeners on Spotify and 100 million streams worldwide.
“Our focus has always been on helping artists make bold moves without putting themselves in a hole,” Martin shares. “Syntax has been willing to slow down, think strategically, and help us plan releases in a way that actually makes sense long term.”
Sunday Worship Records, founded by gospel musician Matt Fouch, centers on hymns and worship songs reinterpreted across a wide range of styles. The catalog is one of the most-streamed Christian instrumental collections.
“I started releasing instrumental worship music because I know we all need those quiet times in our life and this music is designed to enhance those moments. It helps people stay grounded, even when there aren’t words being sung,” Fouch says. “I wanted a distributor who would treat that musical philosophy with care and purpose. Somebody that gets it and believes in it. That’s what drew me to Syntax.”
Apex Global Music Group is led by songwriter and producer Shay Watson. Watson’s work has been featured in more than 75 television series and films across pop, jazz, ambient, country, and world music.
“Most of my career has lived behind the scenes in sync,” Watson adds. “The digital marketplace has challenges, but it also creates opportunity if you approach it intentionally. Syntax understands how catalogs like mine actually function over time, and that alignment mattered.”
Arena Creative Services is a newly formed label built from the career of Nashville-based engineer Warren David with an emphasis on artist development, release strategy, and operational support.
“I’ve spent years solving problems most listeners never hear about,” says David. “What stood out to me about Syntax was their integrity and how seriously they take execution. That made this an easy decision.”
