Liberty Music Group, a dba of Red Tie Music, LLC., a division of Liberty University’s School of Commercial Music, is a music company that produces, publishes and distributes Christian music and related materials throughout the United States and in many other countries.
Our Beginning:
Liberty Music Group (LMG), formerly known as Red Tie Music and owned by Thomas Road Baptist Church, has become the official music publishing company of Liberty University. The company previously served the vision of TRBC, but was purchased by Liberty University and became part of the School of Music Commercial Music Department with a launch to the students and music community in August, 2017.
Our Purpose:
As part of LU’s Commercial Music Department, Liberty Music Group trains and equips students to be church publishing practitioners and professionals. LMG is a link between the world and the music and songs originating from the student songwriters, alumni, faculty, groups, artists and producers of the University’s Center for Music and Worship and the School of Music and Performing Arts. Our contributors are continually working to craft new songs and musical resources with a message of truth in original, fresh recordings, arrangements and orchestrations. The excitement of music and worship of Liberty University is captured in the music of Liberty Music Group, and new songs are being added to the catalog on a continual basis. Already, several of our copyrights have climbed the CCLI charts and are being sung in thousands of churches worldwide with songs that have been translated into Russian, German, Portuguese, Korean and Spanish.
Our Mission
Our commitment is to support Liberty University’s mission to develop Champions for Christ by equipping students to represent Christ with excellence with the music published through LMG.
Our Objective
- Proclaim the wonders of God through concert, performance presentation, publishing, recording, radio, television, and internet communication
- To provide support and opportunity through publishing for the God-honoring talents of songwriters, artists, worship leaders and worshiping musicians
