Bolder Entertainment was founded by Tim Holland while working at Sony Music Australia, where he oversaw and executed chart topping campaigns in Australia for international artists such as Luke Combs, Carrie Underwood, Brooks & Dunn, Maren Morris, The Chicks, Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Old Dominion, Kelsea Ballerini, Dylan Scott, Lee Brice, Wynonna, Tyler Farr, Davisson Brothers Band, Jason Aldean, Cam, Brad Paisley, Russell, Dickerson, Ward Thomas, Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton and locals Seaforth, Adam Harvey, Mae Valley, O’Shea, Kevin Bloody Wilson and Missy Lancaster.
Before this, he was A&R/Label Manger at ABC Music. Holland helped the label become the market leader for local country music in Australia and created a pathway for the label to sign and work with artists from the USA and Canada.
His successful ABC Music label signings include The Wolfe Brothers, Adam Brand, McAlister Kemp, Steve Forde, Jasmine Rae, Craig Campbell (USA), Kellie Pickler (USA), Emerson Drive (Canada), Jayne Denham, Doc Walker (Canada), Dean Brody (Canada), Shea Fisher and Sara Storer.
He also successfully executed A&R and marketing activities for the likes of Australian country stars Lee Kernaghan, Catherine Britt and Travis Collins.
During this time, he was also invited to speak at the Billboard Country Music Seminar in Nashville.
Holland is also the General Manager of Sydney based indie record label Red Dog Recordings. Australia's favourite son, Shannon Noll was the label's first signing. His May 2021 release, RAW debuted at #1 on the ARIA Australian Albums chart and #1 on the AIR Independent Albums chart and scored a #3 on the overall ARIA Album chart (three spots higher than his previous major label release!) and became Nollsie's seventh top ten ARIA charting album.
All-female country/rock super-band Southbound xo achieved the label's first chart topping result at the end of 2020, with 'Find Our Way' featuring Noll. The song went to #1 on both the national country radio airplay chart and the AIR Independent singles chart. 'Find Our Way' has also been streamed over 3.5 million times so far. Southbound xo's follow-up single 'This Is Us' then became the band's second #1 hit (for three consecutive weeks!).
​
The label's first International signing, Davisson Brothers Band (USA) released their album Home Is Where The Heart Is in April 2023.
​
Another recent highlight for Red Dog Recordings was the label's release of 'Middle Ground' with Rachael Fahim, which scored a massive five-week #1 on the national country airplay chart, making it the biggest hit of her career!
Holland also co-manages Noll and Southbound xo and produces Nollsie's new music and entertainment podcast, Idol Talking With Nollsie.
He previously hosted the country music podcast, Tone Countrycast, which featured guests such as Blanco Brown (USA), Jim Lauderdale (USA), Kelsea Ballerini (USA), Melaine Dyer, HARDY (USA), Lindsay Ell (USA), Shane Nicholson, Fanny Lumsden and Brooke McClymont (The McClymonts).
