Mike Borchetta
Longtime music executive Mike Borchetta passed away this morning (June 14) at the age of 84, surrounded by family.
Borchetta’s influential career spanned decades and included key roles at some of Nashville’s most notable labels. As President of Lofton Creek Records, he earned a No. 1 hit with Heartland’s “I Loved Her First” in 2006. During his tenure as VP of Promotion at Curb Records in the late 1980s through the mid-1990s, Borchetta was instrumental in signing Tim McGraw.
He also held positions at Broken Bow, Capitol, RCA, Mercury, Philips Records, Rebel Engine and operated his own promotion company, working with artists across genres including Hal Ketchum, The Four Seasons, The Beach Boys, Glen Campbell, Dusty Springfield and Wayne Newton.
Outside of the music business, Borchetta and his wife Martha bred and trained thoroughbred horses for many years. Several of his children—Scott, Adelle, Chris and Angela—have also built careers in the music industry.
