Play It Again Publishing (PIA) owner Dallas Davidson announced today the addition of industry veteran Alex Torrez as the company’s VP of A&R.

“Having someone like Alex on the Play It Again team is a huge asset to our writers and artist,” said Davidson. “He brings an insight into this business that you can only achieve from years of experience. I’m thrilled to announce Alex Torrez as Play It Again’s VP of A&R.”

Along with adding Torrez to the staff, PIA has promoted Houston-native Kirby Smith to Creative Coordinator.

“We feel like we’re all a family here and we’re all after the same goal, and that goal is to make an impact on music,” said Davidson. “We don’t have fences around this company. I don’t care if they write a rap song, a pop song or a country song. This is all about music at Play It Again. We’re not focused on one certain genre. I want our writers to feel as creative as they can.”

PIA’s roster includes writers Brian Kolb, Houston Phillips, Kyle Fishman and artist newcomer Trea Landon.
