Concord Elevates Kayle Kiener To VP, Recorded Music Royalties
Kayle Kiener has been promoted to VP, Recorded Music Royalties at Concord. Formerly Director, Artists Royalties, Kiener will be based in Concord’s Nashville headquarters and will report to Concord’s GM of Global Administration, Jeff Van Driel.
After starting his career as a professional musician, Kiener studied accounting at University of South Florida. His introduction to the music business came at Naxos of America where he led the Global Royalty department and eventually became product manager of business intelligence. Following a brief stint as a royalty auditor for a CPA firm, he most recently worked as the senior manager of Frontline Artist Royalties at Warner Music Group’s newly created Center of Excellence in Nashville.
“I had the pleasure of working with Kayle in a previous lifetime and am so pleased to have him now heading up Concord’s Recorded Music Royalties,” says Van Driel. “He has shown remarkable adaptability, leadership and innovation in the short time he has been at Concord and I look forward to continued success as we prioritize reporting and paying our valued partners in the artist and songwriting communities.”
Kiener comments, “Concord’s ability to manage a diverse catalog and promote an incredible corporate culture is unrivaled and I am proud to be a member of its team. The department is made up of some of the most talented and dedicated people in the business and I am lucky and excited to work alongside them.”
