Troy Tomlinson is leaving Sony/ATV Music Publishing to become the first Chairman and CEO of Universal Music Publishing Group Nashville.
On 7/15, Tomlinson will join UMPG’s global senior management team with responsibility for the entirety of UMPG’s Nashville operations, including providing leadership to UMPG’s Tennessee-based royalty operations and Christian division. Tomlinson will also be a key creative voice throughout Universal Music Group. He will report to UMPG Chairman and CEO Jody Gerson.
“Troy’s track record in Nashville is the stuff of legend,” Gerson said. “He is simply one of the best and most successful creative executives the Nashville publishing community has ever seen. And having worked closely with him during my time at Sony, I know firsthand of his ability to take a promising songwriter with a song and turn them into a career artist.”
