About Us

“Our label is going to be family; we’re going to put out music in all genres because music is the voice of the soul.”

Colton James

RedSunset Entertainment gives artist a platform to perform on all social media music sites and at special live events.

We also provide opportunities for our artist to join with top writers, producers and recording studio personnel to produce great music the artist loves and believe’s in.

RedSunset Entertainment is a place for the “not yet famous” artist to perfect their craft.

RedSunset Entertainment was founded by Rick Dawson and Colton James. It is set to produce records, television and radio programming, and more.

“Colton and I met at a charity auction raising money for Land4Heroes, a Hunting & Fishing Lodge especially setup for Vets and 1st Responders that Colton started and is passionate to build. I was touched and very interested in the project so I became a donor.

From that event we became fast friends and through this friendship we co-wrote the song, "I Miss America." The lyrics clearly state how deeply we both feel about America. The video for IMA has touched everyone that has watched and listened. Many have said, "I had tears running down my face".

It became clear to us both that our mutual love and respect for God, Family and Country would appeal to others with similar views… and so RedSunset Entertainment was created.”

Rick Dawson is not only the co-owner of RedSunset Entertainment, he is also the proud owner of the 2022 Kentucky Derby winner, Rich Strike.

Dawson, a native of Edmond, Oklahoma, is also the owner of RED TR-Racing, which owns the 2022 Kentucky Derby winner. Rich Strike won at Churchill Downs despite 80 to 1 odds, and Rick was named “New Owner of the Year.”

Dawson began racing his first thoroughbred in 2017. He and trainer Eric Reed claimed Rich Strike in a $30,000 maiden claiming race at Churchill Downs in September 2021.

Dawson has worked in the oil and gas business since 1979. He presently operates RedSky Land, an oil and gas land services company.

I have always been passionate about music. I am fascinated about where writers get inspiration to put pen to paper & forever preserve a song. I love the the story behind the lyrics.

I’m grateful as a label owner… and sometimes writer, to participate in the creation of a great song.
