Bryce Sherlow has been promoted to A&R Manager at Warner Chappell Music, and Benji Amaefule joins the company as an A&R Manager as well. 

“I’m really happy to welcome passionate young publishers who love music and the writers that create it to our team,” shares Ben Vaughn, President & CEO, WCM Nashville. “It’s been great to see Bryce grow at Warner Chappell, and she’s going to continue to charge ahead creatively on Music Row. We’re also looking forward to welcoming Benji to Music City. Many in the industry have seen his passion for songs and songwriters through his prior work in media, and we’re excited to see him make the jump over to creative as he joins our A&R team.”

Sherlow graduated from Belmont University in 2019 and interned with Scooter Braun Projects, Sony Music Entertainment, Songs Music Publishing, and Mick Management. She joined WCM Nashville in 2021 after stints at Creative Artists Agency and Collective Artists Management. As a Tour Marketing Assistant at CAA, she served as a member of The Task Force and was responsible for planning the company’s annual Young Nashville Party and all Nashville volunteer events. As Digital Coordinator at Collective Artists Management, Sherlow developed strategic plans surrounding releases and managed socials for the clients.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to receive this promotion onto Warner Chappell Nashville’s creative team and to be working with an extremely talented roster,” says Sherlow. “Throughout my time at Warner Chappell, it has been evident to me that this is exactly where I’m supposed to be. I am grateful to Ben and the entire creative staff for believing in me and entrusting me with this increased responsibility. I feel incredibly supported internally and cannot wait to continue fostering relationships and building the careers of our incredible songwriters.”

Amaefule is a new addition to WCM Nashville, relocating from Houston. He began his career in country promotions at Cox Media’s KKBQ Houston developing social media content for artists and events. He also previously served as Head of Artist and Label Partnerships at media platform Country Central. In his personal passion for country music, he cultivated his own brand, TheBenjiChord, where he interviews artists and writers and reviews new releases coming out of Music Row. Amaefule also previously worked for Apple and BMC Software and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2013.

“I’m thrilled at the opportunity to work with the amazing team of writers and artists here at Warner Chappell Music,” says Amaefule. “I’m so excited to learn from Ben and the whole A&R team and know we will do great work together. This is the best time to be a creator and fan of music, and the Warner Chappell roster has an incredible track record of success. I’m grateful to be a part of this organization and look forward to contributing to the legacy of this team.”
