Warner Chappell + Limited Edition Music
• Warner Chappell Music (WCM) is joining forces with Limited Edition Music, LLC to sign and develop emerging songwriters in the Alternative, Rock, Pop, and Alternative Country spaces. Greg Sowders, WCM’s SVP of A&R and Catalog, will continue in his current role, while also leading Limited Edition Music alongside former WCM A&R executive, Marc Wilson. Alternative pop/punk singer-songwriter Emmyn Calleiro, from the band Games We Play, and rising Country artist Bailey Callahan are the first signings through the new Warner Chappell Music and Limited Edition Music publishing partnership.
Guy Moot, WCM Co-Chair & CEO, said, “Greg has been a key fixture at Warner Chappell for more than three decades and has dedicated his career to building out a star-studded alternative and rock roster. This is the perfect opportunity for him to continue to lead those efforts while also working with more emerging writers alongside Marc.”
Sowders commented, “Working with Guy, [Co-Chair/COO] Carianne [Marshall], and Ryan is a total joy. I’ve been a part of the Warner Chappell family for over 30 years, and I’m ready to continue this amazing journey by re-uniting with my longtime friend and creative partner Marc Wilson. Limited Edition Music will be a home for emerging artists and writers, within the incredible WCM ecosystem. I can’t imagine a better place to launch Limited Edition Music, while staying fully dedicated to Warner Chappell. Our band just got even better!”
Ryan Press, WCM President, North America, added: “Greg is one of the best creatives in the business and serves as a true partner to his songwriters. I’m super proud to be able to support him and Marc, who I’ve also worked with for a long time, and continue to nurture the next generation of hitmakers together.” Wilson added, “Our mission at Limited Edition Music is to give our songwriters and artists a hands-on platform to grow and achieve success. As a former, longtime veteran of WCM, I couldn’t be more excited to come home and continue to work with some of the best creatives in the world, alongside my friend and mentor, Greg Sowders. Greg is an absolute legend in the music business and his vast wealth of knowledge is invaluable. I can’t thank Guy, Carianne, and Ryan enough for this opportunity!”
