About Me

The goal of our team here at China Shop Music is simple: advancing the careers of artists we love in a variety of ways and exposing new music that will make music fans happy. We work with artists of various styles from the U.S. and all over the world. The only requirement is that we love the music. Our team possesses a wealth of industry knowledge and contacts and can advise and help with radio promotion, digital promotion, artist management, securing publishing and recording deals, licensing and other legal issues. China Shop is distributed by Fontana, a Universal Music Group Company.China Shop Music co-founder Christian Unruh is an entertainment attorney in Miami. He graduated from UC Berkeley and Tulane Law School. In New Orleans, Unruh is also known as "Christian West" for his work in launching the alternative radio station 106.1 The Zephyr. In 1998 he was a co-founder new media outlet www.fastband.com (where he first worked with China Shop co-founder Lou Stadler), formerly housed on the world famous Bourbon Street - the first internet radio station with live VJs offering digital downloads of the music. After 7 years of doing radio promotion for the major record labels, and a stint of A/R with Food Chain Records in LA, Christian is an entertainment attorney whose passion is discovering new artists. Shannon Cheshire , Director of A&R, has worked with Christian since 2001 as an independent consultant, and now heads up A&R out of our new Virginia office. Her music business acumen paired with her extensive industry networking skills have added new depth and dimension to China Shop Music. We have recently added new staff members: Garrett Philbin, Kathleen Gerschutz and Julio Pabon, who all studied music business at the Univ. of Miami. They are already keeping us on our toes!
