Opportunity Knox For Walker

Industry vet Donny Walker has been named Vice President of Strategic Partnerships for Michael Knox‘s production/management company, Music Knox, LLC. In his new position Walker will be charged with developing unique promotional partnerships in key radio and touring markets nationally for Music Knox and its roster. He will work alongside SVP Shalacy Griffin, who oversees the company’s day-to-day operations, which includes Reviver Records recording artist Michael Tyler.

The Nashville-based Walker is certainly a familiar presence in the market, having spent the past 12 years with Westwood One and Cumulus Media Networks as Sr. Director of Radio Syndication Affiliate Sales. Music Knox President/CEO Michael Knox commented, “I’ve known and respected Donny for a long time. He brings a lot of experience to the table and we are excited to add him to the Music Knox team!”

Walker remarked, “I’ve always felt that my skill set could help with artist management so joining Michael Knox’s team will be an exciting new path for me both professionally and personally. This is an incredible opportunity; from the first time I saw Michael Tyler perform, it was obvious that he is an extremely talented artist and songwriter.” Tyler’s debut album 317 is available March 17 and he’s currently on the “Ones to Watch” tour with label mates LOCASH.
