Rider On The Loose!
• Nashville promo pro April Rider has exited RPM Entertainment Group and is now seeking her next opportunity. Ms. Rider (left) joined RPM in 2012 as SVP of Promotion, later rising to General Manager and finally, President, succeeding Scott Siman, who exited RPM in 2015. No word yet on the future of RPM.
Rider’s resume also includes regional promotion roles at UMG’s Decca Records and Curb Records, where she rose from Manager of East Coast Promotion to National Director and eventually, Vice President of Promotion. Rider left Curb in 2010 to partner with her former Curb Records boss and mentor Carson James at Broken Bow Records, where she served as General Manager of BBR’s Stoney Creek.
“I’m now pretty well schooled in more than just record label promotion, marketing and management,” Rider said. “Now I can add artist development and artist management to my skill set. I have a lot to offer and I am confident the right team is out there for me.” You heard the lady — Ms. Rider is ready to rock and can be reached at 615-714-1749 or aprilriderhelm@me.com.
