WMN Ups Streaming Game

• Warner Music Nashville bolsters its streaming team, led by SVP Tim Foisset with the addition of Jen Danielson Sr. Director, Streaming and Jamie Graves as Director, Streaming, starting Monday, April 11.

Danielson (left) joins WMN from Pandora, where she has served as Head of Country Music programming for three years. She previously spent more than a decade in music programming and artist relations at CMT. As Sr. Director, Streaming, Danielson will now work with Pandora and Amazon Music. “I’m thrilled at the opportunity to work with so many people that I admire in this business, along with artists who top my personal playlists,” Danielson said. “During my time at Pandora, I saw firsthand that the Warner streaming team is committed to being great partners. While it is bittersweet to leave the tight-knit trio of Beville Dunkerley, Alina Thompson and myself, I’m excited to continue to work with them in a different capacity and to expand my relationships with all DSPs.”

Graves (right) recently led the streaming and digital marketing efforts at Monument Records. He began his career at Universal Music Group in 2013, followed by a stop at Capitol Christian Music Group. In his new capacity as Director, Streaming, Graves will work with Spotify and Apple Music. “I’m beyond excited to start this new journey with the Warner Nashville family,” Graves remarked. “I’ve been a big fan of how Warner continues to innovate and their ability to sign truly incredible artists. Thank you to Tim for the opportunity to join such an amazing team.”

Foisset commented, “Jen and Jamie are two of the most well-respected people within the Nashville streaming community. They bring our team high-level experience and fresh perspective. I’m confident that they have the tools to further elevate our relationships and find innovative ways for us to amplify Warner Music Nashville artists.”

It was concurrently announced that three-year team member Jenni Tay will depart for a new opportunity in mid-April.
