I’m proud to be part of a team that is willing to do things differently to get our songwriters heard.”

Added WARNER CHAPPEL MUSIC NASHVILLE Pres./CEO BEN VAUGHN, “NASHVILLE is home to some of the best songwriters in the world, and we’re looking forward to working with KATY to expand opportunities for the incredible talent in this city.
