Arista Promo Team Aligns Under Tyson, Sigler; Hires Dokke

(L-R): Lesly Tyson, John Sigler, Ryan Dokke

Arista Nashville is announcing a reworked promotion team in time for next week’s Country Radio Seminar.

The label has promoted Lesly Tyson to Vice President, Promotion, and John Sigler to National Director, Promotion.

Joining the department effective Mon., Feb. 28 is Ryan Dokke, who will serve as Manager, Regional Promotion. Based in the label’s Nashville headquarters, Dokke arrives at Arista Nashville with more than a decade of experience in country radio, most recently as Asst. Program Director, Music Director, and on-air personality for WKKT-FM in Charlotte, NC.

The promotions of Tyson and Sigler were revealed as part of a larger company-wide restructuring earlier this month. Sony Music Nashville Sr. VP, Promotion Skip Bishop announced the promotion of Tyson, who in turn named Sigler to her previous role.

Tyson first came to the Sony family in 2004. Sigler joined Arista Nashville in 2007.
