Universal South

Universal South Records was started in 2001 under Universal Music Group by record producers Tony Brown (4) and Tim DuBois. The label initially specialized in country music artists, but also signed contemporary Christian artists as well. Brown and DuBois stepped down from Universal South in 2006, with Mark Wright (2), also a record producer, taking their place as label president, renaming the label as Universal Records South. In December 2009, Toby Keith's Show Dog Nashville and Universal South were merged to form Show Dog-Universal Music.
