Billy Blue Music has promoted Joe Dan Cornett to Director of Publishing.

Cornett has been with Daywind Music Group, the parent company of Billy Blue Music, for the past 10 years, serving as both Catalog Manager and Creative Director. He has contributed to more than 600 songs recorded since 2016, and has produced multiple No. 1s in both bluegrass and southern gospel. Additionally, Cornett has helped to secure publishing contracts for songwriters like Laura Leigh Jones, Bill Whyte, David Morris, Donna Ulisse, Kristy Cox, John Meador, Mike Richards, Carson Peters, Rick Lang and Caroline Owens.

“Joe Dan has passion and a heart to help songwriters reach their greatest potential success,” says Rick Shelton, Vice President of Daywind Music Publishing. “His character and work ethic have made him an invaluable and much-appreciated member of our team. We are excited to see him guide the Billy Blue crew into the future.”
