Music industry veteran Ron A. Spaulding and Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, Frank Thomas have joined forces to launch Liger Enterprises, a full service global entertainment company offering a complete line of entertainment solutions for content creators.

Co-founder and President Frank Thomas simply explains his transition from sports to music by saying, "There are many roads to success, those that drive multiple roads are the ones that reach unparalleled amounts of fulfillment." Thomas's passion for music led him to establish his own independent record label, Un-D-Nyable Entertainment and then W2W Records, where he and Ron Spaulding engaged in their first business deal together. Frank brings a unique perspective to the music and entertainment world with unrivaled contacts, passion and love for the game of music.

The first album release from Liger Enterprises will come from the label's newest artist, Grammy Award-nominated singer/songwriter Kenny Lattimore this fall. In addition to the Grammy-nominated "For You," Lattimore's body of work includes his critically acclaimed sophomore album From the Soul of a Man and two top-10 charting duet albums with singer Chanté Moore: Things That Lovers Do and the gospel/R&B double-CD Uncovered/Covered.
