Dean Named SVPP @ MCA Nashville
• Universal Music Group Nashville today announced that Katie Dean has been upped to Senior Vice President Promotion for MCA Nashville.
In making the announcement, Royce Risser, EVP of Promotion, said, “I’m truly excited for this promotion for Katie. Katie is not only one of the best promotion people in Nashville, she’s also one of the best people I know, period. I’m so proud of the leader she has become since taking the helm of the MCA team. She is smart. She is fierce. She is genuine. In short, she is the triple threat (minus the normal height you would associate with ‘threat’). Congratulations, Bug!”
Dean was named head of the label imprint’s promotion team in 2015 and has since led them with accomplishments including Jordan Davis‘ back-to-back No.1 hits, George Strait‘s first Top 20 single in five years, as well as, five No.1 hits for Sam Hunt. The MCA Nashville roster also includes Kassi Ashton, Clare Dunn, Vince Gill, Kip Moore, Kacey Musgraves and Josh Turner.
Dean remarked, “The MCA roster of the ’90s is why I fell in love with Country music. It’s an honor and privilege to work with this team to maintain the MCA legacy while we break the next generation of superstars.”
Dean has spent almost 15 years UMG Nashville and previously worked for AristoMedia, CMA, Lyric Street Records and Mediabase. Your best wishes can be sent to Katie at Katie.Dean@umusic.com or call her at 615-524-7553. [Photo Credit: Kat Villacorta]
