Dallas Martin

Dallas Martin is a music executive based in Los Angeles, where he serves as President of Asylum Records and EVP of A&R at Atlantic Records. He works at the intersection of artist growth, team collaboration, and long-range label planning. His roles place him close to both the studio floor and the strategic calendar, with a focus on delivering projects that last.

Over the past decade, Martin has been a consistent presence across major label environments, helping artists move from early development to sustained output. His day-to-day work includes aligning internal teams, coordinating with producers and engineers, and supporting creative decisions with operational follow-through. He is closely involved in every phase of a project, often serving as the connective tissue between concept, execution, and release.

Martin started in the industry under Shakir Stewart at Def Jam, eventually joining L.A. Reid’s A&R team and contributing to foundational releases across several imprints. Originally from Flint, Michigan, he helped initiate the Maybach Music Group partnership at Warner Records and has since remained active across both emerging and legacy catalogs. His approach is built on clarity, rhythm, and trust — with an emphasis on maintaining momentum and structure over time.
