About Dallas Martin

executive roles in recorded music


Dallas Martin operates at the intersection of creative work and executive structure. As President of Asylum Records and EVP of A&R at Atlantic Records, he works across studio systems, project development, and multi-team rollout planning. His role spans the artist side and the label side, with a focus on long-term planning and release execution.

Over the past decade, Martin has contributed to major recordings in hip-hop and R&B while building sustainable paths for both emerging and established acts. His work often involves connecting artist vision with structural support — managing the timing, resources, and coordination needed to move a project from idea to release. He is involved across phases, working with production teams, internal departments, and artist management to keep projects aligned and moving.

He began his career in A&R and continues to work inside that process, now scaled across departments and label systems. The throughline in his work is consistency — maintaining clarity around what the artist needs, what the rollout requires, and how teams should be structured to deliver both.

Martin is based in Los Angeles and remains active across multiple projects under Warner Music Group. His focus is on creative infrastructure, project leadership, and ongoing work that supports artist growth over time.
