      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 11/13/25 - Elizabeth Lombardi</image:title>
      <image:caption>CAA, Executive, Business Affairs, Music Touring Elizabeth Lombardi is a Business Affairs Executive in the Music Touring department at leading entertainment and sports agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA). Lombardi specializes in negotiating tour deals, show agreements, mutual terms with buyers and festivals, as well as brand and endorsement deals for CAA’s roster of artists. Prior to joining CAA in February 2023, Lombardi began her entertainment law career in-house at BMG/Broken Bow Music Group and was an associate at the boutique entertainment law firm, Milom Crow Kelley Beckett Shehan PLC. Lombardi received her Juris Doctor from Belmont University’s College of Law and her Bachelor of Business Administration in Music Business from Belmont’s Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business. She is currently the Chair of the Country Music Hall of Fame’s Troubadour Society and is an adjunct professor at Belmont University.  Proudest accomplishment: As an attorney, some of my proudest moments come from seeing the deals I’ve worked on come to life—whether it’s an artist releasing an album from a record deal I negotiated, attending a live show from a tour I did the deal for, or a brand partnership agreement culminating in a Super Bowl commercial. It’s incredibly rewarding to know I played even a small part in bringing those moments to fruition.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 11/13/25 - Alex Mas Cepero</image:title>
      <image:caption>Duetti, Artist Programs Lead Alex Mas Cepero is an entertainment industry marketer known for leading personalized and impactful campaigns for A-list and emerging artists. Alex currently leads artist marketing services at Duetti, where she supports independent artist partners through strategic marketing programs. She also manages brand marketing for the company, helping elevate Duetti’s presence across the music industry. Previously, Alex was at TIDAL where she managed TIDAL RISING – the company’s flagship program supporting emerging artists across genres. Beyond RISING, Alex was instrumental in bringing TIDAL events, album campaigns, and products to life — including major projects like Prince’s Originals, THE CARTERS’ Everything is Love, and the launch of LIVE, the DJ playlist experience first hosted by Alicia Keys and Lil Wayne. Before TIDAL, Alex got her start on Roc Nation’s marketing team, working across major label campaigns. A first-generation Cuban American, Alex loves spending time with her husband and son, reading, exploring fashion trends, and going to Pilates. Proudest accomplishment: Launching The Carters' Everything is Love album. I ran point on operations and marketing to not only keep it a surprise drop but also make sure it went live flawlessly and with a robust marketing campaign attached. Needless to say, it was a crazy 72 hours.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Warner Music Group, Senior Manager, Global Sync - Branding &amp; Advertising Amy Dworsky is shaking up the world of sync from the inside out. As Senior Manager of Global Sync for Branding and Advertising at Warner Music Group, she bridges music, culture, and commerce — connecting artists to campaigns that resonate worldwide. Over the past six years, Amy has helped redefine what “global sync” means, working hand-in-hand with WMG’s 55 international offices to craft creative and strategic placements for some of the world’s biggest brands. From launching new initiatives to streamlining cross-market collaborations, she’s passionate about making the licensing process as dynamic and borderless as the music itself. Proudest accomplishment: Clearing Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" for Nike's 2025 Super Bowl commercial, which was dubbed the best ad of the year by AdWeek. It also marked the recording's first-ever US commercial placement, Nike's triumphant return to the Super Bowl after nearly three decades, and is the highest fee for a master ad sync at WMG.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Neon Coast, Management Coordinator Dawson Simmons is an emerging music industry professional with a background in brand partnerships, artist management, and music marketing. The Georgia native currently serves as Management Coordinator at Neon Coast, supporting ACM Awards 2024 New Duo/Group of the Year nominee, Restless Road, and Nashville-based indie alt-pop band Nightly. Previously, Dawson was Manager of Talent Projects &amp; Music Marketing at Results Global Agency (formerly 615 Leverage + Strategy), the agency of record for Dolly Parton. There, he led marketing initiatives and talent projects, contributed to brand licensing strategies, and served as a coordinating producer on several of Parton's New York Times bestselling books. He was also instrumental in the marketing of her landmark rock album, Rockstar, which debuted at #1 on six Billboard charts—her biggest release in a seven-decade career. His brand collaborations include work with Busch Light, HEYDUDE, Sonos, Stetson, and MAPCO, among others. Proudest accomplishment: I was fortunate enough to work on some incredible projects with Dolly Parton, including her historic ROCKSTAR album. Seeing her insane work ethic and dedication to her fans firsthand taught me so much about the music business and what it really takes to hustle.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 08/28/25 - Sanborn "Sandy" McGraw</image:title>
      <image:caption>President / General Manager, Melody Place As President and General Manager of Melody Place, Sanborn “Sandy” McGraw has transformed the label into a boutique powerhouse through signings including Sara Evans, Jackie Evancho, and Katharine McPhee. His focus on building a distinctive, artist-forward roster is evident in the addition of rising country talent Braden Hull and acclaimed songwriter Melody Federer, blending legacy voices with emerging names. Melody Place co-produced the Broadway production of Boop! The Musical by David Foster, with McGraw playing a central role in bringing both the show and its cast album to life. The production earned multiple Tony nominations, including one for lead actress Jasmine Amy Rogers—also a Melody Place recording artist. With deep roots in legacy music, McGraw has worked extensively with Michael Feinstein, Liza Minnelli, and the estates of Margaret and Richard Whiting. He is currently leading a large-scale creative partnership with the estate of Dan Seals, revitalizing the late artist’s catalog and spearheading a series of upcoming duet collaborations honoring Seals’ musical legacy. Proudest accomplishment: I'm incredibly proud of Boop! The Musical and the work our entire team did to bring such a joyous, Broadway extravaganza to life. Being able to form a creative partnership with David Foster, work alongside him, and release a cast album which he produced and wrote all the music for has been a career highlight so far.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 08/28/25 - Ash Wolk</image:title>
      <image:caption>Artist Manager, Range Media Partners Ash Wolk began her career in Nashville at CAA in the Music Touring Department on Blake McDaniel’s desk. After several years at CAA, she pivoted into music publishing, joining boutique publisher One Riot Music as the company’s very first Nashville hire. There, she helped build out the Nashville office, signing and developing talent alongside founders Amy Patton and Dan Rowe. Over her four years at One Riot, Wolk played a key role in signing artists and bands such as Trousdale and Paul Cauthen, ultimately serving as A&amp;R Manager. Drawn closer to the creative side and the independent artist community, Wolk stepped away from publishing and into artist management, beginning with Nashville favorite Bre Kennedy. In 2024, she joined Range Media Partners. In tandem with signing breakout country star Carter Faith to the Range roster, Wolk and her core team (Cameron Lutz, Jack Minihan, Steph Marks, Shawn McSpadden) have built Carter’s career into one of Nashville’s most exciting new stories. Career highlights include helping sign Trousdale to publishing, spearheading international touring moments like CMC Rocks Festival in Australia, and returning down under in 2025 to tour arenas with Kelsea Ballerini. Proudest accomplishment: The proudest moment of my career was standing in Nissan Stadium during this year’s CMA Fest, watching Carter Faith perform on the VIP stage. Hearing seventy thousand people scream the word “bitch” back to her during “Grudge” was pure magic. When the entire stadium lit up with phone lights and sang along, it felt like a full-circle moment — proof of what can happen when an artist you believe in wholeheartedly finally meets their moment.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Senior Creative Director, SMACK Samantha Sarno moved to Nashville in 2018 and began her journey at SMACK as a Catalog Manager soon after. She quickly advanced through the ranks, recently taking on her current role of Senior Creative Director. She works extensively with renowned writers Pete Good, Marc Beeson, and Dylan Guthro. Sarno has also been instrumental in signing and developing emerging hit writers such as Lalo Guzman, Johnny Clawson, and Josh Dorr, all of which have earned their first No. 1 songs within the last year. Proudest accomplishment: Proudest Moment: Watching writers have their first hits at SMACK has been so rewarding.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Founder/CEO, FanVids Jimmy Pemberton grew up just outside of Boston,MA. As a teenager Jimmy toured professionally and worked at the legendary DiCenso's Drum Shop. As his drumming career progressed he received endorsements from Vater Drumsticks and Mapex Drums. Jimmy went on to start a digital marketing consulting company after honing his skills selling tickets, merchandise, and drum lessons online while on tour with bands.

In April of 2024 he launched his new venture FanVids. Jimmy can also be seen playing drums in the feature film "Love, Weddings, &amp; Other Disasters", directed by Dennis Dugan, starring Diane Keaton. Proudest accomplishment: My proudest moment has been building an amazing team at FanVids that has helped artists such as Kelsea Ballerini, Tate McRae and All Time Low, better connect with their fans while receiving the fan content and data from their shows.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Founder &amp; CEO, Fractal Andile Ndlovu is the Founder &amp; CEO of Fractal, a boutique talent and entertainment company. Her roster includes country artist Abby Anderson, multi-platinum recording artist Iann Dior, British rapper Lancey Foux, and producer V-Ron. Born in Zimbabwe and raised in Indiana after moving to the U.S. at age 11, Ndlovu began as a classically trained percussionist before promoting shows in college and interning with Indiana radio legend Ron Miner. She later held operations roles at startups Soothe and Class120, and went on to day-to-day manage Rita Ora at FAE GRP before serving as Senior Artist Manager at Electric Feel Entertainment, where she worked with Iann Dior, 24kGoldn, and Rich The Kid. She has been recognized with the Variety Hitmakers Award (2021) and featured on Pollstar’s Impact: Next Gen list (2022). Ndlovu is a member of the Recording Academy, the Country Music Association, Women in Music, and Femme It Forward, and serves as a board member of We Are R.I.S.E., a nonprofit dedicated to empowering young women of color. Proudest accomplishment: I’m proud of every milestone I get to celebrate with my clients. Specifically with Nashville and Abby Anderson, I’ve watched her step into her own, playing the MainStage at Stagecoach, opening for Stevie Nicks and Tim McGraw on arena tours, selling out her debut headline show at the Troubadour in LA, walking the pink carpet at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and landing brand partnerships with American Eagle, Boot Barn, Sephora, and HeyDude. Beyond the numbers and stages, my greatest pride is knowing that my love for music has taken me from Zimbabwe to six continents and given me the chance to build a life doing what I love alongside the people I believe in.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 05/15/25 - Kyra Tillotson</image:title>
      <image:caption>Fort Nash/Walk Off Entertainment, Dir. of Ops &amp; Comms Kyra Tillotson is a creative executive and the Director of Operations &amp; Communications at Fort Nash, a Nashville-based media company, and Walk Off Entertainment, an independent record label and management firm—both founded by Chris Ruediger and built on a social-first approach to artist development. Originally from the greater Seattle area, Kyra relocated to Nashville after graduating from the University of Washington with a degree in media communication, to pursue a career in music and artist development. She first got her start as a project coordinator at MadeFirst an experiential marketing and fabrication agency in Nashville. Since then, she has played an integral role in building The 615 House (a Fort Nash brand.) Her work lives at the intersection of music, digital media, and fan engagement. Proudest accomplishment: A standout moment was collaborating with Abby Anderson on her First To Hit The Road project and leading the execution of her release party. More recently, I had the opportunity to take two of our artists to Stagecoach for the very first time as they performed on the Monster Energy stage. Being able to support artists as they reach major milestones and experience meaningful “firsts” in their careers is something I’ll never take for granted—it’s what makes this work so rewarding.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 05/15/25 - Lexi Lampkin</image:title>
      <image:caption>Opry Entertainment Group, Manager, Artist and Industry Relations After graduating from Washington University in St. Louis, Lexi joined the Brand Partnerships Department at WME where she worked with clients like Michael B. Jordan, Gal Gadot, Halle Berry, Julianne Hough, and more. Following her time at WME, she joined Universal Pictures’ Global Special Events team, working on global campaigns for films like Jurassic World: Dominion, the Super Mario Bros Movie, and The Fabelmans. Lexi then joined the Artist Relations team at Dick Clark Productions, which produces the Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards, and more. During her time at DCP, Lexi worked with artists like Reba McEntire, Morgan Wallen, Megan Moroney, Carrie Underwood, Smokey Robinson, and Tate McRae. After 3 years in LA, Lexi relocated to Nashville to join Opry Entertainment Group as Manager of Artist and Industry Relations. Proudest accomplishment: Putting together Morgan Wallen’s Billboard Music Awards performance in 2023 was definitely a really special moment! We were able to bring members of the ‘98 Atlanta Braves team out to the stadium and Morgan performed “‘98 Braves” just for the team and 100 of his top local fans ahead of his sold-out two night run there. And… it was on my birthday which made it even better!</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 05/15/25 - Ethan Goldish</image:title>
      <image:caption>CAA, Music Agent Ethan Goldish is a Music Agent at entertainment and sports agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA). Goldish is based in Nashville and represents many of the world’s leading musicians, including Ben Rector, Warren Zeiders, Owl City, Coleman Jennings, and Marlon Funaki, among others. Goldish began his career at CAA in 2019. He graduated from Duke University with a degree in Economics with a certificate in markets and management studies. In addition to his work on the live touring side, he serves on the Emerging Leaders Board for the PENCIL Foundation and was an auction chair for the organization’s 2025 signature event, A Little Night of Music. Proudest accomplishment: Any opportunity to work with artists to sell out their first show in their hometown makes my heart grow three sizes. Seeing your client take the stage of the venue - one that shaped their love of music to a packed house of friends, family and fans ready to sing back every lyric for the next 90 minutes - will never get old.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 05/15/25 - Corey Brewer</image:title>
      <image:caption>Big Loud, VP, Media/PR Corey Brewer is the Vice President, Head of Media &amp; PR at Big Loud Records, home to global superstars like Morgan Wallen and Miranda Lambert. In this role, he oversees the label's media strategy, publicity, and brand communications across its roster, which includes artists such as Kashus Culpepper, Steven Wilson Jr., Charles Wesley Godwin, Ashley Cooke, HARDY, ERNEST, and other chart-topping musicians. Before joining Big Loud Records, Brewer worked at Atlantic Records, where he led press and publicity efforts for award-winning hitmakers Kehlani, Burna Boy, Wallows, Matt Maeson, and Lil Skies, among others. Prior to his run at Atlantic Records, Brewer held positions at ADA (Warner Music Group's independent distribution arm), Sunshine Sachs, and Tenth Street Entertainment - where he led campaigns for Motley Crue, Blondie, Steven Tyler, Eve, and others. Proudest accomplishment: I'm very proud of the work the team and myself did for Burna Boy. It's one of the few campaigns I've been a part of that truly shifted culture. What started out Burna Boy creating a few sparks in the U.S. carrying an Afrobeats movement on his shoulders, culminated in many firsts. Burna Boy became the first ever African artist to win in an album category at the Grammys, the first to headline and sell out a stadium in the U.S., and many others. The movement made so much noise, in 2024 the Grammys added a new category for Best African Music Performance.</image:caption>

Avery was also the former President of SOLID (Society of Leaders in Development), where she contributed to raising over $400,000 for the organization and spearheaded significant DEI initiatives during her tenure. She has received multiple honors throughout her career, including being named one of Nashville’s “Top 30 under 30” honorees, an All Access “Woman to Watch,” as well as being included on Nashville Briefing’s 30 under 30 honoree list. Proudest accomplishment: Aside from taking the leap to launch my own firm, which will always be at the top, one of the moments that stands out was the night Dasha won Female Song of the Year at the People’s Choice Country Awards. It was such a full-circle moment. Most of our team was together that evening and it felt like a true celebration of everything we had poured into this whirlwind year.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Director of Content Production, FlyteVu Kaetlin Fehl’s journey in the entertainment industry began with her passion for music and storytelling. As a high schooler, she launched an online music magazine dedicated to capturing the raw energy of touring punk rock bands through her photography before roles at APA, Vector Management and Go West Creative. In 2021, Fehl joined FlyteVu’s production team as an account coordinator before rising to Head of Content Production in 2024. Fehl has been instrumental in delivering brand campaigns like Dierks Bentley x Row94, The Castellows x Farnam,  Demario Davis x Ashley DSG, Lainey Wilson &amp; Emerging Artist x Tractor Supply, Thomas Rhett Akins x YouTube Fritos and many others. When she’s not overseeing production magic, Fehl can be found globe-trotting with friends and family, soaking up every adventure. Proudest accomplishment: One of the moments I’m incredibly proud of early in my career was being published in AP Magazine. It was such an exciting achievement that validated my passion and hard work at a young age. Right now, we’re in the final stages of producing a big budget TV spot that will air globally this year on linear, out-of-home platforms and even in Times Square! The project has been a monumental undertaking, but the creative is exceptionally strong and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished. Once it’s out in the world, I know it will stand as the project I’m most proud of in my career.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - 15 Producers To Watch - Daniel Ross</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hometown: Hope Mills, NC Publisher: Big Machine Music Publishing Known as a multi-threat talent in the writing room, Big Machine songwriter/producer Daniel Ross is having a breakout year with singles on Morgan Wallen (“Lies Lies Lies”), Jon Pardi (‘Friday Night Heartbreaker”) and dozens of recent releases by such artists as Nate Smith and Maddie &amp; Tae, among many others. Ross similarly continues to emerge as a producer as showcased this year on “Missin’ Tonight” (George Birge), “Invisible” (Knox), and recent co-productions by artists such as Mitchell Tenpenny, Chase Matthew and Conner Smith. Best producer tip: Best tip I know is to get the song right before you start producing. I’ve wasted hours trying to make a mediocre song do something special. You’re better off reworking the song and getting that right. Sounds basic, but a great song will instantly make the track more inspired.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Host, SiriusXM Ashley kicked off her radio career at 18 in Indianapolis, IN, and after making her mark in eight different markets—including a spot on a number one morning show in Orlando—she made her final move to Music City in 2013. There, she worked her way up through various radio gigs and in 2016, got the call to join the SiriusXM on-air team. A mom of two and a wife, Ashley shares her life’s journey on air, from parenting adventures and hanging out with artists to navigating the heartache of her mom’s sudden passing. You can catch her on The Message (Ch. 65) from 12 PM to 4 PM ET and Y2Kountry (Ch. 57) from 4 PM to 8 PM ET. Proudest accomplishment: Eighteen years in radio have brought so many unforgettable memories—moments I could never have dreamed of when I started. Like the time Blake Shelton gave me the key to the city at one of his shows in Florida—such an honor! Or teaming up with Dierks Bentley for a freezing cold plunge as part of his New Year’s Eve tradition. And I’ll always treasure the handwritten note I received from Taylor Swift.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Artist Manager &amp; President Quinton Digital &amp; Queue Records Amanda is a Nashville-based music professional celebrated for her dynamic approach to artist development and digital marketing. Her career began with a chance encounter while waiting tables, which led to her first full-time role in marketing and social media for legends like Kenny Rogers and Sam Bush, along with rising stars Eric Paslay, Jon Pardi, and Kelleigh Bannen. In 2014, she joined Marbaloo Marketing, where she managed social media for major artists, including Kelsea Ballerini, Little Big Town, Tim McGraw, and Miranda Lambert. After leaving Marbaloo, Amanda spent two years freelancing across diverse projects, redefining her purpose and position in the industry. This reflection culminated in the 2018 launch of Quinton Digital, a full-service agency that now supports Zac Brown Band, Muscadine Bloodline, Ben Rector, Morgan Wade, and more with digital marketing, day-to-day management and label services. In 2021, she expanded her work with Queue Records, whose first album releases from Nate Fredrick and Texas Hill collectively garnered millions of streams. Amanda now manages standout talents Ashley Monroe and Abbey Cone, and continues to rise and grow alongside her roster of artists. Proudest accomplishment: A recent highlight that stands out is getting to watch Muscadine Bloodline make their major stadium debut opening for Post Malone at Nissan Stadium last month. Those boys are some of the hardest working people I've ever met, and their talent is top tier. It's amazing to finally see them getting the exposure their music deserves. It's been an honor as a company to support them for the last three albums, and a true joy to have a sideline view as they crush their dreams.</image:caption>

From our acquisitions of CD Baby, FUGA and Curve Royalty Systems, to our evolution from publisher and copyright owner to end-to-end industry partner and artist champion.

      <image:caption>Artist Manager, Red Light Management Nicolette McCann, a Wake Forest University grad originally from Potomac, MD, has always had a love for music and storytelling. Her stints at Starstruck Entertainment, Disney Music Publishing, and Twelve6 Entertainment gave her the foundation for her knowledge and passion for artist development. In the summer of 2022, she decided to take a leap of faith and founded her own company, TWIST Music Group, with flagship alt-pop artist and Big Loud Rock signee BIZZY. Since then, she has expanded the roster to include indie-rock band Cousin Simple and Sony Music Nashville / River House recording artist Georgia Webster. McCann has recently joined forces with Red Light Management in partnership with long-time mentor Zach Sutton. She hopes to continue the genre-expansion of the definition of “music” in Music City by allowing herself to be driven solely by good songs and good people. Proudest moment: Though I have been lucky to have many moments in my career to be proud of with different artists, co-workers, and friends; there is one moment that sticks out above them all. When BIZZY sold out her first ever headlining show at The Basement in Nashville. After leaving my previous role in pursuit of this crazy dream we had together, it became clear that there were more than a few people in the peripherals who thought we were just that - crazy. Yes, she had a viral song on TikTok; yes, she was quickly wracking up millions of streams; and yes, we were approached by more than a few labels, investors, etc. But neither of us had ever really done this thing before. At least not at this level. But that was what made it all so great. In the same way that I helped to elevate her status by being represented by a manager, she helped me to elevate mine by having a client to represent, and not to mention a buzzing one.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 8/15/24 - Matt Woodson</image:title>
      <image:caption>Artist Manager &amp; Tour Manager Majik Management Matt's route to managing the emerging Country-Rock duo, Lakeview, has looked anything but ordinary. Moving from Denver to Nashville in 2021, Matt was working full-time for tech startup before making the career switch into the music industry in 2022. During his time in Denver, he toured part-time with Contemporary Christian Music artist, Red Rocks Worship, as a guitarist. In the summer of 2021, Matt arrived in Nashville on a year-long "remote year", where a long-time mentor convinced him to give the industry a shot. While continuing to work his full-time job and taking zoom meetings from the back lounge of a tour bus, he got his start on the road as a VIP rep for CCM artists such as Chris Tomlin, Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes, and Bethel Music. He eventually became a Tour Manager for CCM artists, Jordan Feliz and CROWDER. In 2022, Matt made the call to leave his career in tech and “sink or swim” in the music business - breaking in as a Tour Manager. Since then, he has led tours around the globe for artists like Seaforth, Ernest, Samm Henshaw, Patrick Droney and Quinn XCII. From bars to stadiums, he's put on shows across the US, Australia, Asia, Canada &amp; Europe. Currently, Matt is an independent Artist Manager for Country duo, Lakeview and Tour Manager for LA-based pop artist, Quinn XCIl. Proudest moment: “Making a career switch from a "normal" job to a dream job will forever be a proud moment for me but the current top spot happened earlier this year in London with Lakeview. We took a financial risk to go see if a European fan base existed, bringing a couple of acoustic guitars and a box of t-shirts. On the last day of the run, they had been invited to play C2C Music Festival and their set was at 11:00am in the middle of a shopping mall. With no expectations, we were shocked to see hundreds of fans show up and scream every word for the duration of their set. For me, not only as a manager but as a live music fan, it was 30 minutes of goosebumps. To see an international response to an artist that you not only fully believe in but have the opportunity to be a part of their story is a moment that I know I will never forget”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Photographer Lily moved to Nashville from her hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, to attend Belmont University and pursue a career as a creative. She discovered her passion for photography and creative direction after taking an internship with her mentor and fellow photographer Rachel Deeb. Lily started her career collaborating and touring with country artist Carter Faith, traveling around the country capturing cinematic photos of Carter on and off of the stage. Over the past three years Lily has had the opportunity to photograph artists like Post Malone, The 1975, Jelly Roll, and Maddie &amp; Tae. Proudest moment: I owe a lot of my career to my collaborators, mentors, and creative family here in Nashville. Carter Faith and her stylist Kennady Tracy are creative geniuses and every shoot we do together is so creatively fulfilling. Being able to document special moments and milestones in an artist's career is always such a privilege, so photographing Carter playing the O2 in London was a very surreal experience. I'm also the biggest 1975 fan and the photos I took from their show in Nashville are shamelessly hanging up on my wall!</image:caption>

After 8 years in Los Angeles/Orange County, Matt moved to Nashville last summer ‘23 and is now the sole employee for Night in Nashville, looking to expand their services beyond just the digitally-native creator. Proudest moment: “The first deal I was ever a part of in the industry was the Fortnite x Marshmello in-game concert, followed by Post Malone’s Posty Fest. However, candidly I am most proud of the quieter accomplishments such as granting Make-A-Wish kid’s wishes to meet their favorite celebrity or building a successful YouTube channel for a professional athlete. In terms of some partnerships I am most proud of recently would include integrating the MrBeast IP into Fortnite and popular mobile game Stumble Guys, along with the first ever YouTube Creator, co-branded Nerf Blaster.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Co-Founder &amp; Co-CEO, 24/7 Artists Davina Thomas is an experienced music entrepreneur, GRAMMY-winning music industry figure, and artist advocate focused on empowering creators globally. As Founder &amp; Co-CEO of 24/7 Artists, she’s grown a global community of over 25,000 creative professionals and enthusiasts that foster innovation, promote personal growth, and give artists in every neighborhood the confidence and tools to pursue their dreams. The platform provides access to industry experts via more than 70 world-class courses, a suite of productivity resources to help manage an artist’s career, and a peer-to-peer support network to level up any artists’ journey together. Before building 24/7 Artists, she co-founded House Studios, an influential recording space in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) music scenes that contributed to the success of artists like Logic, Ari Lennox, Wale, VicBlends, and Mannywellz. Starting with just $800, Davina and her personal and professional partner, Yudu Gray Jr., ultimately led the success of the studio to an exit valuation of nearly $20 million. Beyond her impact in music, Davina is a mother of three who loves to learn and continually helps others to pursue their passions. Proudest moment: “Taking our previous company, building it from scratch, starting with $800, and turning it to a $20 million exit valuation. But really…the proudest moment of my career though was when I didn’t give up. When we started building 24/7 Artists we thought it would be a breeze. Lord were we mistaken. We used up every dollar, maxed out every credit card, called in every favor, and we at one point doubted our abilities. Now, we’re on the other side with a company growing daily and impacting tens of thousands of artists around the world.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Agent, Wasserman Music Yitzi Peetluk is an agent at global talent agency Wasserman Music in Nashville, representing a roster of artists in the folk, country, and indie spaces. A graduate of Berklee College of Music’s Music Business program, Peetluk got his start booking talent at Boston’s The Red Room at Café 939 and worked in various roles for concert promoter Bowery Presents: Boston. Since moving to Nashville in 2017, Peetluk has represented artists including Sierra Ferrell, Shakey Graves, Weyes Blood, Joy Oladokun, Sarah Jarosz, Benjamin Tod &amp; Lost Dog Street Band, and Nikki Lane. Along with the continued representation of these artists, Peetluk is focused on the next steps for several highly anticipated newcomers on his client roster, including Odie Leigh, Jake Kohn, Daniel Nunnelee, Cole Chaney, Clover County, and Mountain Grass Unit. Proudest moment: “I am fortunate to have many proud moments that are specific to each artist, but the most recent was Sierra Ferrell’s two sold out nights at the Ryman in March. Having booked two Basements in 2021, two Basement Easts in 2022, and a Brooklyn Bowl (Nashville) for New Year’s Eve 2023 - it was amazing to watch the culmination of Nashville’s love for such a special artist lead into the release of her incredible new album Trail of Flowers.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Founder and Co-CEO Andrew Batey is an accomplished entertainment &amp; technology entrepreneur. Over the last 15 years he has $150M+ for his own startups and filed 40+ patents across seven countries around artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, and data infrastructure. Now, as the Founder and Co-CEO of Beatdapp, his focus is on helping DSPs, distributors, and artists combat artificial streaming fraud. Since inception, the company has been recognized as a Top 20 Music Company Globally by Crunchbase and selected for "Emerging Rockets List" (2020 &amp; 2021). Beatdapp has also graduated from accelerators such as Creative Destruction Labs, 500 Startups, Project Music, and the highly prestigious and selective C100 “48Hrs in the Valley.” Early in his career, Batey spent time helping launch multiple top 10 artists, lifestyle brands, and growth hacking web properties such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube before they were the marketing tools we know today. Committed to staying close to the music business, he harnessed his creative side to release a song under the artist name Urban Outlaws, which wound up charting #4 on US Country Music Singles and playlisted on Spotify’s Wild Country (April 2022). Proudest moment: “I was one of the first people to launch an artist on Facebook (2006), the first to build a bluetooth self-locking bike, and a crypto expert with over 12 years of experience (started mining bitcoin in 2011). As an investor, I've invested in over 150 companies with over 10 unicorns to date. All of that to say, the proudest moment of my career was meeting my hero, Garth Brooks, and having a conversation about how much I love songwriters and everything they do for the Nashville community.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Founder of Amplify Her Voice / Content &amp; Touring Project Manager at Live Nation Women As a multi-instrumentalist with a drive to influence, Kristina London was set on a career in the music business at a young age and pursued various music opportunities while in college. While working, the gender divide within the industry became undeniably visible. What first began as a passion project, Amplify Her Voice soon grew into a thriving online platform. Since 2019, she has built a community of more than 80,000 members and collaborated with leading companies like Live Nation, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and The Recording Academy. In 2024, Kristina joined the Live Nation Women team as the Content &amp; Touring Project Manager. In this role, she works to power progress for women at Live Nation, within the music industry, and across the world at large. Proudest moment: “Joining the Live Nation Women team stands out as one of my proudest achievements. For five years, I committed myself to leaving a positive impact for women on the music industry, driven solely by the desire to make it a better place than when I joined it. Throughout this journey, I've realized that staying true to my genuine intentions and authentic self has been key to overcoming challenges and maintaining the integrity of our safe space. Being asked to join the Live Nation Women team felt like the culmination of years of hard work and dedication, finally providing me a space where I am valued and can continue to pursue my passion with purpose.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Manager, Global Sync - Creative + Clearance Warner Music Group Alex began his journey as an intern at Warner Music Group just a few weeks after graduating from Ohio University in 2018. He currently is part of Warner Recorded Music's Visual Media Licensing team - doing Global Creative Sync &amp; Clearance. His main slate of clients are in Sports, Video Games + New Media - working with the NFL, Epic Games, 2K Games, Rockstar Games, Electronic Arts, Meta, Roblox, and many more. After 5 years in Los Angeles, Alex moved to Nashville in September, and is now the sole Sync employee for Warner Music Group based in Nashville. He operates out of the Warner Music Nashville office on Music Row, and also participates in artist discussions around sync in the country landscape.  Proudest moment: “Easily the biggest success (and lucrative deal) of my career recently, was handling the deal for Fortnite Festival. It took nearly a year to get across the finish line, and many many revisions and video calls. My first ever video game deal I worked on was a sample clearance, for a track we owned, in the Travis Scott x Fortnite experience. That event was in April of 2020, so it's amazing to see how far our partnership has grown with Fortnite &amp; Epic Games. On top of that, seeing the exponential growth of music in games has kept me on my toes every single day.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Director | Executive Producer GLITCH Quinton Cook is a director and executive producer based in Nashville.

In 2019, Quinton launched the boutique production company, GLITCH, with a mission to advance the LGBTQ+ community and promote inclusivity within the country music space.

Quinton has collaborated with artists all over the board from country stars like Jordan Davis and Luke Bryan to genre fluid artists like Yola and JP Saxe. His work has been recognized by iconic publications such as Time, Rolling Stone and Teen Vogue to name a few. In his spare time, Quinton can be found scouring the internet for the latest interior design trends, enjoying a margarita (or two) with his friends, or shopping for another pair of glasses. Proudest moment: “So random but I shot Miley Cyrus for Black Mirror so they could animate her mouth on the doll. --OR-- Had a Dolly drag queen in a country music video with Madeline Edwards for "Momma, Dolly, Jesus"</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Manager, Group Strategy, Syndication &amp; Secondary Promotion BBR Music Group – Broken Bow Records | Wheelhouse Records | Stoney Creek Records Proud Kentuckian Krista Hayes recently accepted the role as Manager of Group Strategy, Syndication and Secondary Promotion with BBR Music Group which houses Broken Bow Records, Wheelhouse Records and Stoney Creek Records. From 2021 to January of 2024, she served as the Promotions and Marketing Director for Cumulus Meda Nashville Music Stations which includes the historic WSM-FM NASH ICON, WKDF-FM 103.3 Country and WQQK-FM 92Q. Krista's professional experience spans over a decade in radio, television, podcasting and other forms of digital media. Krista is the co-creator and Executive Producer of "C'Mon Son!" The Podcast!" hosted by former Yo! MTV Raps host Ed Lover. Founded in 2016 the show has had over one million downloads to date and continues to be a force in the hip-hop podcasting space. Proudest moment: “Gahhhh there are so, so many proud moments, but off the top of my head - one of the proudest and most memorable moments of my career was when I was standing on the stage at Skydeck on Broadway at our 103.3 Country/95.5 NASH ICON "Country Kickoff" CMA Fest week concert looking at a sold out crowd. I immediately thought about when I started my first concert promotion company, "Trifection Entertainment" back in 2013 and I was a complete floppy mess! I mean I literally had NO idea what I was doing LOL! Fast forward ten years later, I was a part of a team who sold out a Country show in Music City. Two days before that, our R&amp;B station filled the historic Hadley Park for our "Family Day in the Park" event.”</image:caption>

Carrie recently earned her first #1 UK Rock &amp; Metal Album for her production work with PVRIS and continues to collaborate with talents like Maren Morris, Suki Waterhouse, and Jessie Murph.  Proudest moment - Proudest moment: A recent highlight that stands out in particular is Noah Kahan’s Best New Artist Grammy nomination. Being part of his team and contributing to his astronomical ascent, characterized by global multi-platform radio #1s, sold out arena/stadium tours worldwide, platinum records, and dynamic collaborations with talents like Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, and Hozier, among others, has presented an extraordinary and cherished opportunity.</image:caption>

Joey teamed up with powerhouse artist manager Martha Earls and Neon Coast in 2019. He holds a Bachelor's of Business from the University of Georgia. Proudest moment: There are so many things I'm proud of, but some of my most recent proud moments are getting to watch Restless Road sell out shows on their Last Rodeo Tour, and having Dylan Schneider's independent release "How Does It Sound" receive RIAA Gold Certification.</image:caption>

There, she works on a variety of artists including Paramore, Rico Nasty, Friday Pilots Club, carobae and producer/writer Tyler Smyth. Proudest moment: Paramore winning two GRAMMY’s is pretty cool!

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 2/16/24 - Frank Paris</image:title>
      <image:caption>Producer/Co-Founder, Working Holiday Frank Paris connects the dots between artist projects and the creatives who bring their visuals to life. After graduating from Belmont University, alongside his business partners Chase Denton, Sarah Woods, and Anthony Modica, Frank started Working Holiday with the aim to bring together the two worlds he’d come to love, production and the music business. In a short 3 years, Working Holiday has established itself as a cutting edge media agency that provides breathtaking visual assets. At Working Holiday, Frank works closely with artists and their team to build out visual packages for their releases. He also works with the production community to hire the right creatives for each job. Frank has worked with the country’s best labels, directors, and photographers to produce content for artists such as Ruston Kelly, Megan Moroney, Jenna Davis, Carter Faith, Tanner Adell, Jessie James Decker, and Knox. Recently, Frank has been working to roll out new offerings for current and prospective clients with a focus on short form and vertical assets. Frank also looks forward to launching Working Holiday’s first dive into original content through a new concert series slated to launch in 2024.  Proudest moment: Proudest moment of your career: I’m always thrilled when one of our visuals blows up or gathers a ton of engagement for a song, showcasing the collaboration between us and an artist team. Last year, two different music videos we produced premiered on Times Square billboards, one for Carter Faith via CMT (“Man”), and another for Jenna Davis (“DiCaprio”). Both of those videos were huge productions with so many moving parts, and it was epic to see those featured on such massive stages.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If you walk down the 12 South neighborhood in Nashville on a Sunday afternoon, there is a good chance you will catch me at the Buck Mason store. There’s an even better chance that if you saw me in person anytime this year, I was wearing at least one garment from this brand. In fact, it is not uncommon to find me wearing an entire outfit from Buck Mason. Their garments are well made, affordable, and classically stylish. They have stores in most major cities, so no excuses! You can order online as well. Buck Mason also has great customer service! I could tell a story here to showcase it, but you need to get back to your families.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If you’ve been at a concert with me this year, you probably know I don’t drink. I’m not the only one. Drink consumption at concerts is way down thanks to Gen Z fans who are consuming less and less alcohol. If you’re looking for an alcohol free option this holiday season, check our Three Spirit.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sticking with the pancake theme, I was turned on to this company from my friends at Beatdapp, a Canadian startup that finds missing royalties &amp; identifies streaming fraud. They are doing amazing work and you should check them out if you haven't. This company treats maple syrup the way many treat fine wines. Some are vintage, some are barrel aged, etc. You can’t make this up. The result is an incredibly intense maple flavor in every bottle. Don’t sleep on this!</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - The Nashville Briefing’s Holiday Gift Guide - Traction, by Gino Wickman</image:title>
      <image:caption>At the beginning of 2023, I read Traction by Gino Wickman. While it’s not a new book, the impact it had on my business was massive. It offers a step by step guide to implement what it calls EOS (Entrepreneur Operating System) into your business. We put it to use this year and the impact was so big that I'm writing about it right now! If you’re looking for that one business book to read over the break, this is the one to get!</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 12/15/2023 - Nina Musolino</image:title>
      <image:caption>Artist &amp; Producer/Writer Manager, Page 1 Management Bio: Nina Musolino is a manager at Page 1 Management. She started her career at Red Light Management, while simultaneously finishing school at Belmont University. She handled day-to-day work for artists such as BONES UK, Zella Day, Rayland Baxter, and Sure Sure. During this time, she assisted with the release of BONES UK’s debut album, which received a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance in 2020. Her love for songwriting then led her into publishing at Fourward Music where she looked after the Nashville roster consisting of Carrie K, Mike Robinson, Hastings, Abby Anderson and Andrew Stoelzing. All of which prepared her for her time at Page 1, where she is currently building her own management roster. Her clients include hip-hop/rock producer David Kerckhoff, pop/country songwriter Isabella Kearney-Nurse, R&amp;B/Rock artist Sayak Das, and pop/country producer and songwriter Evan Cline. She is focused on expanding the Nashville office and bringing more opportunities to her clients not only in town, but globally. Outside of management, she co-founded House of Song, an organization that creates opportunities for non-country artists and creatives in a predominantly “country music focused” city. It’s goal is to seek community, put on live events, network, and support local creatives. Proudest Moment - This is always a tricky question because I am proud of many things.. I'd have to go with my proudest moment being the launch of Sayak Das' artist project. Just 9 months after his debut EP was released, he opened for Jai Wolf at the Brooklyn Mirage and landed a support slot with artist Hojean. These opportunities made our team extremely excited for what's to come. Watch out 2024!</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 12/15/2023 - Drea Jackson</image:title>
      <image:caption>Senior Manager, Artist Relations, SoundCloud Bio: As a tastemaker, Drea’s lifestyle has always been through the lens of music. She attended Spelman College and spent the entirety of 2010’s in Atlanta, GA which shaped much of her culture, network, and taste in sound &amp; talent. Post graduation she dedicated her free time to her music blog, Drea Vibes, co-hosted the podcast Urban Overdose, reported from red carpets for media brands, and frequented nightlife in the city to build relationships. She broke into the business by taking an entry level sales role at Pandora media. While in sales she built relationships across other orgs and contributed to the music and programming teams as support for artist relations. She eventually applied for a brand partnerships role at SoundCloud, snagged it, moved to NYC and began to thrive as a member of the SoundCloud community. The majority of Drea’s love for music came from her discoveries on SoundCloud and respective emerging artist scenes in ATL. In her current role as Senior Manager, she focuses on artist discovery, artist development as a driver for the First On SoundCloud annual program, brand evangelism through 1:1 support and education for creators, and amplification of emerging artists and scenes in culture that use SoundCloud as a vessel.  Proudest moment - One moment that stands out is curating the line ups for SoundCloud’s showcases which gave Ice Spice and SoFaygo their first performances ever.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 12/15/2023 - Stevie Heckert</image:title>
      <image:caption>Digital Manager, Strategy, Sandbox Entertainment Bio: Stevie Heckert oversees all facets of the social media presence, including social partnerships and overall digital strategy, for Sandbox Entertainment’s roster as the Digital Manager. She started at Sandbox in 2019 as a Digital Coordinator and has spent the last four years developing and executing many high level marketing campaigns alongside her teammates for their roster which includes artists like Kacey Musgraves, Kelsea Ballerini, Dan + Shay, and Little Big Town among others. Proudest moment - It’s hard to pinpoint one specific moment - I am so proud to be a part of the team at Sandbox and have had the privilege of working on some really amazing projects during my time here. I think the most rewarding part of my job is watching fans connect with music around a song or album launch after spending months strategizing on how to do just that. Most recently, being a part of the team on Kelsea Ballerini’s Grammy-nominated EP Rolling Up the Welcome Mat and watching her fandom reach new heights over this past year has been really exciting.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 12/15/2023 - Joy Denver Spears</image:title>
      <image:caption>Professional Dancer, Choreographer, Stage Movement Coash &amp; Master Teacher Bio: Alabama native Joy Denver Spears began her professional career in 2006 as one of the top 10 female contestants on the Fox hit television show, “So You Think You Can Dance”. Spears quickly made a name for herself in the entertainment industry, performing with artists such as Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Pink, Paula Abdul, Pharrell, Pitbull, Will.i.am, Fall Out Boy, Kat Graham, Priyanka Chopra and DJ Havana Brown. She has worked with the industry’s top choreographers, working on TV series, feature films, an array of music videos and award shows including VMA, CMT &amp; CMA Awards. Spears received her BA in dance and journalism from the University of Alabama and is now residing in Nashville, TN. She transitioned from not just being the performer, but also a choreographer and choreographed the final season of the ABC/CMT TV show, “Nashville”. Spears is one of the most sought after choreographers/dancers/movement coaches in Music City and has worked with country artists including Kelsea Ballerini, Thomas Rhett, Luke Bryan, Jon Pardi, Madeline Edwards, Reba McEntire, Lauren Alaina, Danielle Bradbery, Dierks Bentley, Florida Georgia Line, Blake Shelton, Kassi Ashton, Little Big Town, Tucker Nichol, Niko Moon, Kenny Chesney, Maddie &amp; Tae, Tenille Arts, Walker Hayes, Brad Paisley, Tyler Hubbard and Hot Country Knights, amongst many more. Most recently she choreographed and performed for Walker Hayes on The Today Show, Citi Concert Series, as well as choreographing the last project Leslie Jordan was a part of, alongside Blanco Brown and LOCASH. When Spears is not on set, or performing you can find her teaching at Millennium Dance Complex Nashville as well as many other dance studios in the south and across the country.  Proudest moment - The fact that I’m 36, and still doing what I love. Every single accomplishment and moment has driven me to keep going. I love evolving, working with other creatives, and most importantly, working with GOOD humans. I’m also so proud and grateful to now be a wife!!! My husband, Will Dakota (go stream his music), uplifts me, encourages me and for that, I thank God every day.</image:caption>

He oversees °1824 projects for UMG’s Nashville-based artists, as well as runs the department’s publicity and social media teams.

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 12/15/2023 - Courtney Beebe</image:title>
      <image:caption>Associate Director, Media, Sony Music Nashville Bio: UNC-Chapel Hill alumna Courtney Beebe has spent the past decade rooted in Nashville, sharing the stories of some of Music City’s most talented artists. Beebe joined the media department at Sony Music Nashville in 2018, leading label publicity efforts for artists including Old Dominion, Gavin DeGraw, Chris Young, Morgan Wade, Kameron Marlowe, Tenille Townes, David J, and more. Prior to SMN, she worked as a publicist at independent firm Sweet Talk Publicity representing Morgan Wallen, Dustin Lynch, a Capella group Home Free, and celebrity trainer Erin Opera, among others. Beebe began her career as an intern at the Country Music Association, later rising from Communications Assistant to Manager during her five-year stint while also serving as Managing Editor of the trade organization’s member publication CMA Close Up. She was named to MusicRow’s Next Big Thing Class of 2023, is an ACM and CMA voting member, and serves on Sony’s Nashville Equity Taskforce.  Proudest moment: A few highlights that stick out are being with CMA for the 50th Annual CMA Awards and the “Forever Country” campaign, watching Dustin Lynch be No. 1 for four weeks with “Small Town Boy,” Morgan Wallen getting his first No. 1 with “Up Down,” Morgan Wade’s Reckless being the top pick for Rolling Stone’s Best Country Albums, Old Dominion matching the CMA Vocal Group of the Year record, and Kameron Marlowe releasing his debut album We Were Cowboys. But I think what’s most rewarding is watching the growth of my former interns as they find their place in our industry. I’ve had some phenomenal mentors over the years, and I think it’s incredibly important to pay it forward to the next generation of professionals.</image:caption>

In her role, Brammer leads the operations of UTA Music worldwide, managing human resources, legal and business affairs, finance, facilities and technology initiatives. Previously, Brammer served as UTA’s vice president of people and business partnerships. Before joining UTA in 2021, Brammer served as vice president of human resources at WME and led HR for the music division.

Throughout her 20-years in the business, Brammer has received recognition for her efforts to advance the representation of women in the music industry, with many of the women she's hired and mentored now serving as agents or executives within the industry. Favorite book you always recommend: I read one of the first editions of All You Need to Know About The Music Industry by Donald S. Passman when I was in college. It gave me a base knowledge that I used as I was entering the business. I continue to recommend the book when helping young professionals navigate their careers.  Favorite concert: Although I usually say the epic Foo Fighters show @ the Ryman on Halloween Night in 2014, there is one other that stands out for me. I was visiting Prague in 1998 and saw a Jimmy Page/Robert Plant concert poster on a café wall. It was written in Czech, but I could see that the show was that night, so I asked around, made my way to the venue, borrowed a sign to buy tickets from a fan, and ended up watching these legends from third-row center.  Favorite spot in Nashville for a business meeting: Honestly, my favorite meeting spot is in the UTA office - a three-story, mid-century building which was the former downtown Carnegie Library. With floor-to-ceiling (possibly over 20 ft) windows, a modern design, and a great vibe, I love bringing people into the space.</image:caption>

Proudest Moment: My Nashville journey began with a cold email to a manager my first month in town. That led to a gig shooting at Zanies. Fast forward, Bert Kreischer asked me to shoot a couple of his shows, all thanks to the amazing AJ Wilkerson and Lucy Sinsheimer. It was a full-circle moment backstage, realizing how a simple outreach introduced me to some of the most talented, hardworking people in the biz.</image:caption>

Proudest moment: One of my proudest moments would be when I jumped in at a moment’s notice for us on the winner’s walk at the CMA Awards in 2021. Here I was just a couple months into living in my dream city, working at a dream job, and then I found myself standing next to some of my favorite artists talking about their big wins that night. It was an exhilarating, pressure-filled thrill to say the least!</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 10/19/2023 - Kyle Levinsohn</image:title>
      <image:caption>Music Agent, UTA Bio: Kyle Levinsohn began his career in music nearly a decade ago, rising from the UTA Mailroom to being named Agent in May 2022. A New Jersey native, Levinsohn developed a love and passion for music at a very early age. With a strong emphasis on A&amp;R and Artist Development, Levinsohn has since grown his roster to include artists such as Charlotte Sands, Graham Barham, Christian French, Spencer Sutherland, Stacey Ryan, DOUBLECAMP, Steinza &amp; more. Levinsohn previously served as UTA’s College Agent, brokering hundreds of deals for clients across the entirety of UTA’s music division. Proudest moment: I am most proud of the opportunities I have been able to secure my clients, including various festival performances for Charlotte Sands (Lollapalooza, ACL, Bonnaroo, Life Is Beautiful, Hangout, Boston Calling &amp; more); growing Spencer Sutherland’s hard ticket business by obtaining a direct support slot on Big Time Rush’s Summer 22’ amphitheater tour and following it up with a mostly sold-out headline run; and the signing of my most recent client, Graham Barham, who has hit the ground running locking in dates supporting Dylan Scott, Kidd G, Chase Matthew &amp; more.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 10/19/2023 - Krista Roser</image:title>
      <image:caption>Celebrity Fashion Stylist  Nashville, TN Bio: Hailing from a small town in Tennessee, Krista Roser started her fashion career in New York, working directly in designers' offices. After a move to Nashville, she started working for a menswear company where she learned the importance of tailoring and fit. Soon after, Krista became fashion editor to the New York magazine, Love Inc Magazine. In that role, she started noticing that the Nashville entertainment community wasn't utilizing the fashion market in terms of publicity or marketing. Thus, she worked to fill this void. Now, with almost 10 years in the Nashville entertainment community under her belt, Krista has helped her clients elevate their notoriety in the high-end fashion world while building and enhancing their brand from an image standpoint. She currently works with a roster of 21 celebrity clients and continues to build and evolve her clients' brands through various events and bodies of work, garnering exposure for their art at large.  Proudest moment: There have been several proud moments. But some that just come straight to mind: Vogue covering a Dolce Gabbana event with my clients at their home, with several of Nashville's talents and finally showcasing what Nashville has to offer. Another was getting Versace to dress my artists' for CMAs, a first time for the brand to dress any country stars.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 9/21/2023 - Belinda Ligotino</image:title>
      <image:caption>Community Manager / jump.global Nashville, TN Bio: Belinda is an Upstate NY native living life in Nashville. She started her career with the non profit Women in Music which led her to work at the tech company EVA under her friend and mentor Channing Moreland. At EVA, Belinda worked on the Entertainment Relations team where she started a diversity initiative to bring more opportunities for minorities in the corporate event world. Most recently, she worked with artist development/management company AmpliFLY where she helped develop artists such as Ian McConnell and Ryan Necci and the Buffalo Gospel. During this time she helped launch their digital development section of the company (Ignite) getting to work with amazing artists such as Hannah Ellis and Kelsey Hart. She currently works at jump.global where she spends her days advocating for music industry executives to get their voices and passions heard around the world. Her job is to understand her clients vision and help find opportunities that speak to their why. Belinda is working with jump.global on their first conference dedicated to developing a person’s first and last name rather than their job title. Outside of work, you can find her at 6one5 Jiu-Jitsu having the best time becoming a stronger human.   Proudest moment: So many things to be proud of but overall I'm most proud of learning how to prioritize myself when it matters.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 9/21/2023 - Shannon Woodworth</image:title>
      <image:caption>Director, Digital Marketing / UMG Nashville Nashville, TN Bio: Shannon Woodworth moved to Nashville 8 years ago after pursuing her B.A. in Music Industry and M.B.A. with a marketing concentration from the University of New Haven. She would ice cupcakes in the mornings to pay the bills while she pounded the pavement of Music Row with her resume each afternoon. Her first industry role was at a digital-focused agency. After working a few months at the front desk, she began overseeing a roster of over eighty clients, which led her to fully pursue a long-term career serving talent across the social landscape. Working with brands and agencies to tap into social campaigns for the talent she represents, Shannon has been at the forefront of pioneering a unique sliver of the digital space here in Nashville that will likely pave the way for how social collaborations look moving forward. Proudest Moment: In 2021, I successfully launched the biggest initiative of my professional career, Parade of Trees; a collection of artist-decorated Christmas trees in a walkable experience at a local resort. Each artist had a package tied to their portion of the initiative and fans could bid on them. All the funds raised went to First Responders Children’s Foundation, which provides scholarships and mental health services to the children of first responders. 2022 was its second annual year and this year, we are working on plans for what it can look like.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 9/21/2023 - Marissa Smith</image:title>
      <image:caption>Agent / UTA Nashville, TN Bio: Marissa Smith is an agent in UTA’s booming music division. With a series of recent key accomplishments, Smith has solidified herself as a one-to-watch with a passion for discovering and nurturing exceptional artists. Smith’s roster includes artists such as GAYLE, JP Saxe, JVKE, Jaden Hossler, Amanda Shires, Fancy Hagood, Zandi Holup and more. With a dedication to creating positive change, Smith also serves on the boards of several non-profit organizations, including She Is The Music, Tennessee Alliance for Kids, and as the Philanthropy Chair of UTA PROUD, the agency’s LGBTQIA+ inclusion group.  Proudest moment: Watching GAYLE open up Taylor Swift’s first night of the Era’s tour. GAYLE was the first artist I ever signed, so to close my eyes and think about seeing GAYLE perform at The Basement’s New Faces Night in January 2020, and then open them and watch her play in front of tens of thousands at State Farm Stadium in March 2023 was very special to say the least.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A&amp;R Manager / Warner Chappell Music Nashville, TN Bio: Benji began his career in country music at Cox Media’s KKBQ Houston developing social media content for artists and events. Previously, he also served as Head of Artist and Label Partnerships for Country Central. Due to his personal passion for country music, he cultivated his own brand, TheBenjiChord, where he interviewed artists and writers while covering new releases coming out of Music Row. This led to joining the creative team at Warner Chappell Nashville where he currently supports their roster of writers and artists as A&amp;R Manager. Outside of music you can find Benji traveling, collecting guitars, and searching for the best gym in Nashville.  Proudest moment: Watching my friends/writers get celebrated for their first number one song (Dylan Marlowe, Joe Fox and Jimi Bell) for Jon Pardi’s “Last Night Lonely”. It was a special moment early into my career here that meant even more after getting to know the guys involved and the paths they each took to achieve success in music.</image:caption>

Crandall acclaims include over 300 million streams, 2 Sirius XM Highway #1's, and over 12,000 tickets sold on the most recent Western Tour. He is currently expanding his roster. Proudest Moment: Last year felt like such a payoff for so many hours of hard work for Spencer and me. To score two Sirius XM Highway #1's, have Spencer make his Grand Ole Opry Debut, and sell out 11 shows of his 26 date headlining tour was very meaningful, especially as an independent artist. Definitely our proudest moments to date.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week’s Disruptors 9/21/2023 - Mick Bodie</image:title>
      <image:caption>Photographer / Videographer Nashville, TN Bio: Mick's sights were set on Nashville from the moment he heard the song “Whiskey Lullaby” as a kid. After years of playing gigs as the guitarist in a country duo, he discovered a love for capturing the moments artists create on stage through a lens. He moved from his hometown of Washington, D.C. to Nashville in early 2021 and jumped right into the creative scene. He built a brand by shooting writer's rounds and photo sessions for emerging artists in his home studio. He quickly transitioned to shooting tour content and has been on the road with artists like Faren Rachels, Lauren Weintraub, Ashland Craft, and most recently Ashley Cooke. Mick focuses his content on capturing the unique personalities of each artist, working to produce photos and videos that showcase who they are as much as the music they create.  Proudest moment: Honestly, this is a tough one to answer. Being welcomed by this city and this community is all I could have hoped for. But, having the chance to shoot Ashley Cooke at Bridgestone Arena this summer as she was opening for Luke Bryan was an absolute bucket list experience.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Producer, Writer / Opry Entertainment Group Nashville Bio: Keri graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a Master's degree in Broadcast Journalism. She is a TV producer, storyteller and advocate. At Opry Entertainment Group, she produces the "My Opry Debut" YouTube and TV series which features artists like Colbie Caillat, BRELAND, Madeline Edwards, Fancy Hagood, Randall King, Warren Zeiders and countless others. Carpenter also helps develop new shows and TV series for both Opry Entertainment Group, and Circle TV network. Proudest accomplishment: Writing and producing a live TV show/runway experience for New York Fashion Week! I got brought on to create, develop and write a live show for Target's 20th Anniversary celebration of Designer Partnerships in New York. There were two hosts (Tyra Banks and Isaac Mizrahi), 15 cameras, TONS of insane/incredible designers and it was at the iconic Park Avenue Armory in New York. In live TV, there are no re-dos, retakes or second chances -- it was wild, it was crazy, it was thrilling, it was so incredibly FUN: I still can't believe I did that.</image:caption>

It ended up moving forward, and we held our first GRAMMY U Masterclass live in Las Vegas with award-winning music video director, Hannah Lux Davis (known for her work with Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat, and more).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Wyatt Flores was raised on the outskirts of a small Oklahoma college town with a rich music history spanning from the likes of Garth Brooks, All American Rejects, Cross Canadian Ragweed, and The Great Divide. Embracing this musical energy, and further inspired by stories from his father’s stint as a seasoned drummer in the Red Dirt music scene, Wyatt wrote and released his debut acoustic single “Travelin’ Kid” in the Spring of 2021. In the summer of 2022, Wyatt left OK and moved to Nashville to pursue his music career full-time. He released the fan-favorite track “Losing Sleep” in February of 2022, as well as a series of stand-alone singles in the second half of the year. His single "Please Don't Go" marked a viral take off for Flores. Written about the struggles of mental health, the track has gained over 50 Million streams to date and has helped him sell out shows across the country. Wyatt is in the process of recording his first full album, planned for a Fall 2023 release. Favorite Road Food - Whataburger</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Team: Label: Columbia Records MGMT: Beka Tischker (Wide Eyed Entertainment) PR: OH Creative Publisher: Missy Roberts (UMPG) Agency: Sloane Logue, Abby Bass and Morgan Kenney (WME) Tanner Adell, who was homeschooled, spent her summers in Wyoming, living what she calls a “free-spirited” childhood in the country. In 2021, after the pandemic hit, Adell moved to Nashville to pursue music. As a biracial female country artist, she found Nashville-based record labels attempting to minimize the extent of her songwriting and calling shots on her marketability. Staying true to herself, Adell has continued her steady ascent to stardom. Having already performed at CMA Fest, shared stages with Luke Combs and gone viral on TikTok (thanks to the backhanded song “Buckle Bunny,”) Adell has unleashed her debut mixtape of the same name. At the heart of it all, she offers this reminder of her individuality: “No one is going to question by the end of this year if I am being myself or not.” Road Food - Taco Bell spicy potato taco</image:caption>

With the help of a signature vocal tone, his home studio, and a viral TikTok video, RVSHVD became nationally recognized for his country version of Roddy Ricch’s “Ballin’”. The song went viral on Spotify, TikTok, and YouTube amassing over 25M streams while uplifting his catalog of songs to over 100M streams.

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week's Disruptors 02/16/24 - Nikki Boon</image:title>
      <image:caption>Manager / Neon Coast Bio: Boon moved to Nashville after winning the Dr Pepper tuition throw at the SEC Championship Game. She attended Belmont University and graduated from Middle Tennessee State University. She began an internship with Martha Earls as Earls was launching Big Machine Music with Mike Molinar. After graduation, she began working with Earls and became Kane Brown's tour manager and day-to-day manager. The company has since grown and started a joint venture label with Sony and the production company Demasiado. She continues to work on Brown's team and has signed the alt/pop band Nightly for management, tattoo artist Bubba Irwin, songwriter/producer Rajiv Dhall, and co-manages reggaeton artist/actor Victor Perez. Proudest moment: I take pride in every instance where I've embraced opportunities that pushed me well beyond my comfort zone. I once attended an event where I saw Martha Earls, whom I had just heard speak in college. I walked up to her and thanked her for her time and she offered me an internship on the spot. Reflecting on that, I realize how different my life would be now if I hadn't taken that small step to simply say “hello” and “thank you.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>CEO/Founder / Next Step Talent and Next Step CRTVS Bio: At Next Step Talent, Shames and her team work with creators, brands, and artists to help grow their social media presence and scale startups 5-10x. They have secured partnerships with YouTube, Meta, Disney Music Group, Snapchat, BOSS, Neutrogena, HBO, Netflix, Target, Universal Music Group, NYX Cosmetics and many more. Shames and her team have secured clients over 6 Billion YouTube views, a #7 debut Spotify Album, highlights in YouTube’s Black Creator Class of 2023, TikTok’s biggest POV star and more. Shames has worked to promote the non-profit OutRight Action International which supports the LGBTQIA+ community and has worked with Women PowHer Music, encouraging women to start businesses during quarantine. She will soon publicly launch her second company, Next Step CRTVS. Proudest moment: I don't necessarily have a proudest moment. I love each and every big win that my clients have or my employees have. For me, it is rewarding to watch and help others succeed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week's Disruptors 02/16/24 - William Tenney</image:title>
      <image:caption>Managing Partner / SunPop Bio: After graduating from Northeastern University with a degree in Music Industry and Business Administration, Tenney worked at Goldman Sachs and served as Head of Streaming Strategy and Promotion at Crush Music, overseeing campaigns for Lorde, Miley Cyrus, Green Day, and more, all while building the NYC-based label and management company, SunPop. As a managing partner, he looks after artists like Quarters Of Change (Elektra/Warner) and PTS! (Epitaph) and runs label services campaigns for everyone from Def Leppard to Imanbek. Also an artist himself, Tenney has toured North America in various capacities with artists like Lauv, Cash Cash, and Parachute - and currently plays in the rock band Exit. Proudest moment: Working with Green Day, Fall Out Boy, and Weezer on the Hella Mega Stadium tour was pretty cool. Also, giving my parents my first platinum plaque and watching Quarters of Change go from 100 to 1500 cap rooms.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Nashville Briefing - This Week's Disruptors 02/16/24 - JUSTIN CAUSEY-Bullock</image:title>
      <image:caption>Artist Manager / Black City Management Bio: Causey-Bullock attended Tennessee State University and completed the Music Business Program at the NYU Tisch Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. He has creatively collaborated with businesses such as Nike, FUBU, the Tennessee Titans, Gibson, CMT, and AT&amp;T to help with musical content, creative campaigns, and design. At BlackCity Management, he works with artists who have been featured in Complex, The Fader, NPR, VIBE, and other notable publications. He also hosts his own radio show, The Corner, on 101.5 WXNA and freelances in entertainment production. Proudest moment: My proudest moment was designing a shoe for Nike in 2019. Nike chose 10 different creatives from the U.S. and let us design a Nike model based on someone or something that inspired us. We were all able to sell our shoe via their website for a limited time. The middle school version of me would never have believed that he made that dream a reality.</image:caption>
