Artists perform one song in front of a live audience and receive real, unfiltered feedback from industry guest hosts.
Chris Ruediger is a Nashville based music entrepreneur, artist advocate and founder of The 615 House, Fort Nash, and Walk Off Entertainment, a record label under Virgin Records. After graduating from Vanderbilt University with a background in economics and business, he built The 615 House into one of Nashville’s most influential creative collectives, helping emerging country artists grow through collaboration, content strategy, and community driven momentum that has led to major label deals and millions of streams. He later expanded that vision with Fort Nash, a culture and content platform spotlighting the next wave of country talent, and Walk Off Entertainment, where he focuses on modern artist development, digital first growth, and long term career building under the Virgin umbrella. Together, his ventures blend community, media, and label infrastructure into a new blueprint for breaking artists in today’s music industry.
