“I’m really looking forward to working with the hottest label in Nashville! Big Thanks to Shane Allen and Steve Hodges for giving me the opportunity,” said Gray. “Can’t wait to see some old friends and meet some new ones in the Southeast!”

Former Columbia Nashville Director, Southeast Promotion Lauren Longbine will transition to Director, Midwest Promotion as longtime regional rep Bo Martinovich steps into the newly-created role of Sony Music Nashville Director, Artist Development.
