As President of Dream Chasers, Meek will build a staff to sign and develop "artists with staying power rather than ones who might enjoy a month of success via social media channels," Variety reported.

The label also plans on opening a recording studio for Dream Chasers artists and providing a plethora of in-house services, including operations, creative strategy, marketing, and business affairs.

Meek posted a pic on Instagram to celebrate the good news. "I think it’s time for me to dive into the business," he said at a press conference. "I’m 32 years old, I'm in a nice spot in the music business, and I can help artists."
