MusicRow Team Grows By One

MusicRow adds Michael Smith to its team as Operations Manager, where he will work in several areas, including sales and editorial, as well as assembling MusicRow‘s popular CountryBreakout Chart.

Smith’s musical interests came from growing in a very country-centric family, learning to play the piano in middle school and listening to favorites such as country superstars Loretta Lynn, Keith Urban and Reba.

Publisher/Owner Sherod Robertson says, “MusicRow is very fortunate to have Michael on board. His strong work ethic, wide knowledge base, and attention to detail is a great skill set to begin a successful career. I look forward to working with him in our unrelenting strive to serve our subscribed members and industry readers.”

Smith is a Nashville native and spring 2013 graduate from Vanderbilt University with honors, where he studied Classics and English. After developing career interests in music and writing, he worked for US Weekly at 2012 CMA Fest and completed internships at Nashville Scene and Music City 411.
