Sea Gayle Announces Promotion, Staff Addition

Sea Gayle Music Executive VP/GM Marc Driskill has announced the promotion of JD Groover to Sr. Director, Creative and A&R and the addition of Emily Witters as Director, Creative, to the creative team at Sea Gayle Music.

Groover joined Sea Gayle as Creative Director in 2018. Witters, a Denver native, moved to Nashville in 2011 and earned a Music Business degree from MTSU. After graduating from MTSU, she worked for Sony/ATV Music Publishing for three years before landing an opportunity to work at Dean’s Cabin Publishing.

“Along with Sr. Director, Creative, Kim Wiggins, who is simply a rockstar, we are so excited about this team! The authenticity and dedication Kim, JD and Emily exhibit are the main reasons songwriters and artists gravitate to them and trust them with their careers,” said Driskill. “I’m so proud of each of them for what they mean to our songwriters and our team. And we are so excited to welcome Emily to the creative team at Sea Gayle. Her genuine love of music and her instinctual song sense are the foundation of her passion for her working with songwriters. She is going to be an outstanding addition to the Sea Gayle team.”
