With nearly 30 years in music publishing, Sherrod brings with him a breadth of experience, having spent the past few years consulting for Sony Music Publishing, Jonas Group Publishing, Barry Coburn’s Ten Ten & Banz Music and Moraine Music Group.
“It is so exciting to be part of such an amazing publishing company as Anthem Entertainment–what an amazing catalog,” Sherrod shares. “I have known Noah Dewey and Gilles Goddard for over 20 years, and my respect runs deep for them both. I’m grateful and honored for this opportunity and look forward to working with the entire team to add value to Anthem’s ever-increasing brand.”
Sherrod began his publishing career at Muy Bueno Music Group, after which he spent 12 years at Major Bob Music, and Bob Doyle & Associates.
