SONY MUSIC NASHVILLE (SMN) has promoted JOHN JOHNSON to Dir./A&R, reporting to EVP/A&R JIM CATINO. JOHNSON joined SONY as an A&R assistant in 1998 and grew in his role to oversee all master recording quality control for new releases, as well as SMN’s catalog. He also oversaw the design and execution of a studio/listening room within the SONY MUSIC NASHVILLE office, known internally as “13.”

“JOHN has been a crucial part of the A&R structure for 20 years,” said CATINO. “He has an unmatched ear for sonic quality, and has been instrumental in maintaining a high level of excellence for all of our recordings.
