\t\t\t\t\tWarner Music Nashville A&R EVP Scott Hendricks to Exit\u00a0Label\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tWright joining Warner Music Nashville follows other recent moves at the label. Earlier this week, it was announced<\/a> that producer and label exec Scott Hendricks<\/strong> will exit his longtime post at the label next month. In October, it was also revealed that Shane Tarleton<\/strong> had exited his role <\/a>as executive vp of artist development after a 13-year run at the label.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBen and I have known and respected Stephanie for many years \u2014 quite often we\u2019ve been on the other side of her at another label, actively battling it out to sign an artist,\u201d Lacy said in a statement. \u201cShe is a fierce competitor, a tenacious team leader and has an innate sense for exceptional music and artists. Most importantly, she is recognized in the music community as a passionate advocate for developing songwriters, producers and artists, many of whom she helped achieve their first career milestone. Her reputation and long-standing relationships will strengthen our incredible A&R team exponentially.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cJoining WMN, in a way, feels like a homecoming,\u201d Wright added. \u201cOver the course of my 23 years in A&R, I\u2019ve known Cris [Lacy] as a friend, passionate label competitor and overall industry leader. Likewise, I\u2019ve known Ben [Kline]<\/strong> my entire career, starting when we worked together for Mercury Nashville. When the opportunity to join Cris, Ben and the WMN team arose, the decision was easy. The rest of the world is learning how exceptional our artists and songwriters are; something we\u2019ve always known! Country music now touches every corner of the globe, creating new fans and influencing new artists everywhere. Great talent knows no boundary and I\u2019m grateful, and excited, to be in this new home that puts the artist\u2019s story first.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
