Derek Webb Named Nashville GM Of PledgeMusic

NoiseTrade co-founder and president Derek Webb has added the title of PledgeMusic GM, Nashville, following the acquisition of NoiseTrade by PledgeMusic.

Webb will report to PledgeMusic CEO Dominic Pandiscia.

With more than 20 years of experience in the music industry, Webb performed and recorded as both a solo artist and a founding member of Texas-based folk/rock band Caedmon’s Call. He founded NoiseTrade in 2008.

Webb said, “The integration of NoiseTrade into PledgeMusic is igniting a real powder keg in Nashville. I’m thrilled to be the boots on the ground as the new GM. We feel there are several real growth opportunities for us here, and as a 15+ year resident, I don’t think there’s ever been a better moment than now to invest into the community of musicians and their teams here in Music City.”

Pandiscia said, “The addition of NoiseTrade and Derek Webb to the PledgeMusic family represents a true step-change for the business. Derek’s presence in Nashville provides a direct resource into PledgeMusic and its family of companies for the local music scene. Artists, labels, and management companies alike now have the opportunity to work directly with the founder of the groundbreaking NoiseTrade platform in his newly-expanded role representing all things PledgeMusic to the community.”

NoiseTrade helps artists and labels connect with fans through the exchange of free music for email and postal data. PledgeMusic is a leader in direct-to-fan music opportunities.
