Buenahora Joins ole

ole music publishing has announced the addition of Arthur Buenahora as the company’s Senior Creative Director, Nashville. A graduate of the University of Tennessee, Buenahora got his start in the music business in the tape room at Sony/ATV/Tree. He rose quickly through the ranks, placing over one hundred songs over five years, resulting in ten No. 1 singles and developing promising newcomers including Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert and a 14-year-old singer/songwriter by the name of Taylor Swift. In 2005, he joined Capitol Records Nashville as Senior Director of A&R where he continued his creative relationship with Bentley and Church. In 2008, he moved over to Universal Records South as VP of A&R.

“Arthur has had a huge impact on Nashville, signing Dierks Bentley and Taylor Swift among others, to their first publishing deals,” says ole Chief Creative Officer, Gilles Godard. “Having worked both in publishing and on the record side offers him a unique perspective on the ever-changing music business, and I look forward to adding him to our team at ole.”

“I’m really pumped about joining ole,” enthuses Buenahora. “They’re a growth company and I’m looking forward to helping maximize the potential of the catalog there and making sure that the songs get the best opportunity to shine.”
