“It’s a privilege and a blessing to work with our extraordinary artists and our BMG family every day,” adds Hahr. “Jon Loba has always encouraged my passion and my growth and I’m thankful for his belief in me. BMG truly puts artists and their music first, and I’m extremely proud of what we all continue to build together in Nashville and beyond.”
