It is important to keep a small roster to focus the time needed on the bands we have. We make it a mission to do what it takes to make the artist succeed and move to the next level. We have several artists and some we work with on different levels. Browse our site to find more info on our artists.
HGN is a new company headed by Jason Mclelland. HGN Entertainment is ran under the DBA of HGN Music which is a sole proprietorship and covers HGN Entertainment, Home Grown Nation & Home Grown Radio all under the same Parent Company. We also have “HGN Music & Education” which is a 501 c3 Non Profit and will be dedicated to the new FM station. Jason has been in radio for years. He first went into radio broadcasting as an alternate career path while in high school (1994). He attended vocational school where he studied radio broadcasting and worked at the school based Top 40 FM station 89.5 FM. He later went to college for Computer Science and then to Computer aided drafting. For most of his life he owned a computer repair store where he specialized in laptop repair. In 2008 he started working with a small FM radio station quickly making his way to program director. After revamping the Country station, he connected the station with reporting panels such as Music Row & New Music Weekly. For 2 years he served on the Music Row reporting panel as the program director for that station. Meeting many artists, record execs and promotors.. He realized what he wanted to do most was help the independent artist. He decided to go back to school and get brushed up on Radio Broadcasting. In 2011/2012 he attended Academy of Radio Broadcasting and completed an 8 month certificate coarse.
While working as a PD he had a show called The Home Grown SHow. This show was an hour long once a week on several stations (Terrestrial and online radio). This was a show where any artist could send in music and be played. Listeners would vote each week and decide what music to keep. After 2 weeks of positive feedback the song would move to permanent playlist and be reported to the charts. This grew large quickly. Before long we needed a place dedicated to this ideal. In 2011 he launched Home Grown Nation. The ideal was to launch a radio station dedicated in focusing on the independent artist. Like The Home Grown Show. A place where anyone can be heard and the listeners choose who they want to hear. Home Grown Nation lauched as a social network for music and fans. Alot like Reverbnation only it is FREE. Artists can make proifiles and sell music along with merch and retain 100 percent of sales. We currently have over 400 artists and 200 fan profiles. Also we are an a Part 15 AM radio station playing mostly Independents. Reporting to Texas Music Chart, Roots & New Music Weekly. A FCC application is filed for a FM frequency which should be approved Oct 15th 2013.

This has lead to many contacts in the industry. Also much experience. I have grown close to the music community and love what I do. I created HGN Entertainment as a way to help artists get to where they deserve to be. I have seen so many scams and waste of money on services over the years. My goal is simple.. be the best we can be. Make it all about the artists.. And one day be classified as one of the greatest companies in music!!
