ELEKTRA MUSIC GROUP makes two appointments to its A&R team. WILL MCDONALD has joined the label as VP/A&R And Marketing and will be based in NASHVILLE. SHAWN COHEN has been named Sr. Dir./A&R and is based in LOS ANGELES. MCDONALD and COHEN will both report to NEW YORK-based ELEKTRA MUSIC GROUP Co-Presidents MIKE EASTERLIN and GREGG NADEL upon the company's MONDAY, OCTOBER 1st launch (NET NEWS 6/18).

“As we said when we announced the launch of ELEKTRA MUSIC GROUP, we’re going to be passionately devoted to long-term artist development,” said EASTERLIN and NADEL. “Signing and nurturing authentic artists will be at the core of everything we do, so it’s only fitting that our first staff announcement is about two of the most creative, independent-thinking young A&R people in the business. WILL and SHAWN come to us with great experience in discovering and working with original, compelling artists. And, with WILL in NASHVILLE and SHAWN in LA, we’ll solidify our cross-country A&R presence, which will enable us to build a dynamic roster of world-class talent.”
