Warner Music has announced the appointment of three new A&R types to its publishing company Warner/Chappell, all US-based.
Lee Dannay, previously running her own artist development consultancy GoodWorks Music, will be a New York based A&R VP, working with both existing Warner/Chappell talent and signing new songwriters looking for opportunities for her roster both within the US and abroad, which pretty much covers everything I think.
Brad Aarons, previously with BMG Music Publishing (before and after its acquisition by Universal), will also become a new A&R VP, though he will be based in LA.
Peter Visvardis, meanwhile, will become Senior Director of A&R, which may be more or less important than an A&R VP, I find American job titles confusing. Previously with Zomba Publishing, he'll also be New York based and work on existing and new talent.
