TRIE/USA MUSIC GROUP is an independent record label focused on discovering raw talent, developing careers, and getting music heard. From production to playlists.
Submit Your MusicThe majors overlook Columbus. They fly over it on the way to LA and New York. But the talent here is real, and the cost of building a career here is a fraction of the coasts.
TRIE/USA MUSIC GROUP exists to close that gap. We sign artists, produce records, handle distribution, run marketing, and build careers. Not just drop singles.
We invest in the artist, not just the song. Branding, sound design, long-term career strategy.
Every release is optimized for Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, and YouTube from day one.
Transparent revenue splits. No hidden recoupment traps. Artists keep their masters.
Production, mixing, mastering, distribution, playlist pitching, merch, sync licensing. All under one roof.
Tristan Heidelburg didn't start TRIE/USA MUSIC GROUP because the music industry needed another label. He started it because Columbus needed one.
Growing up in Ohio, Tristan watched talented artists struggle not because they lacked skill, but because they lacked infrastructure. No A&R presence. No production budgets. No one taking Midwest artists seriously unless they moved to the coasts.
At 36, after years in the music business, Tristan decided to stop waiting for someone else to fix it. TRIE/USA MUSIC GROUP exists to prove that geography doesn't determine talent—investment does. The label combines major-label resources with indie-label values: transparent deals, artist ownership, and real career development.
Columbus is more than affordable studio space and lower overhead. It's a city full of artists who've been overlooked for too long. Tristan's mission is simple: find them, fund them, and give them the same shot artists get in LA or New York. No shortcuts. No gatekeeping. Just real investment in real talent.
