\u201cWhat a ride, in short, since I stepped into the country music world in 1984 working as the Promotion Director at KZLA\/Los Angeles, to this day as I step away from my role as President at The Valory Music Co.,\u201d wrote Briner in his retirement message to Big Machine Label Group (BMLG) and The Valory Music Co. staff. \u201cThere are so many chapters, so much incredible music and so many artists I have had the privilege to be associated with, not to mention all the people that I have had the honor of working with and getting to know. <\/p>\n

\u201cI truly have loved every minute!\u201d he continued. \u201cFrom KZLA, Warner Bros., Giant Records, Magnatone, Curb Universal, DreamWorks, MCA, BNA and the last eighteen years with Valory. I have so many people to thank, especially Audra, my wife, who has supported me on this journey (we finally get to take those trips we have talked about), the Valory family and those at BMLG, all who have been a part of this amazing chapter. And thank you, Scott Borchetta, for your leadership, passion, belief in me and \u2014 most importantly \u2014 friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n

BMLG founder, chairman and CEO Scott Borchetta<\/strong> added in a statement, \u201cGeorge Briner has been my brother, friend, and colleague for more years than either of us care to mention. He is and will always be the consummate \u2018record guy\u2019. He loves turning people onto artists and music and, generally, just loves people. It has been my true honor and pleasure to fight these battles and win these wars and reach the top of the mountain with him so many times. From our Toby Keith No. 1\u2019s at DreamWorks to our latest Thomas Rhett No. 1\u2019s at Valory, and everything in between, he\u2019s led the charge and truly became one of the GOATs. Country music is better because of George Briner.\u201d<\/p>\n
