Country Label Round Up
• Warner Music Nashville welcomes Rohan Kohli to the crew as Director of A&R. Kohli will report to EVP Scott Hendricks, who said, “We are very fortunate to have Rohan on our team. He is well-respected in the music community for his discerning musical tastes and his relationships with artists, songwriters and publishers.”
WMN Chairman & CEO John Esposito remarked, “In keeping with our family philosophy, Rohan has made a career of connecting with artists. Our A&R team is made up of individuals who, in addition to their artist-facing values, possess a wide and varied taste in music that reflect the breadth of our genre. Rohan’s well-rounded experience will bring us a fresh perspective on the kind of talent we aim to pursue. I’ve long considered artists and repertoire the foundation of any label, and with Rohan our foundation just got stronger.”
Kohli said, “As an outsider, Warner was always a place that I held in high esteem. Being here now is an honor and a privilege. I’m looking forward to working with the A&R team, label staff and artists whom I respect most in this industry.”
