Katherine Godwin has joined Tape Room Music as Manager, A&R.

Godwin first interned in the publishing arm of Big Machine Label Group while completing her undergraduate degree at Vanderbilt University. The Georgia native then worked as a publishing assistant before serving as creative coordinator, managing a catalog of over 14,000 songs in the span of three years. Her leadership across branding efforts for writers, project management oversight and acute focus on consumption data analysis contributed to the overall success of the roster and team, celebrating 10 No. 1s while at Big Machine Music.

“We are thrilled to welcome Katherine to Tape Room,” shares President Blain Rhodes. “Her abilities and work ethic, combined with her passion for songwriters, make her the perfect addition to our team. Her dedication and expertise will be a tremendous asset to our roster and company as a whole.”

Founded by hit songwriter Ashley Gorley, Tape Room Music writers have celebrated 50 No. 1 songs, including Nate Smith’s 10-week smash “World On Fire,” Hardy’s boundary-defying “Truck Bed,” Morgan Wallen’s six-week chart topper “Thinkin’ Bout Me” and more. Tape Room topped both the Billboard and Country Aircheck/Mediabase Most-Heard Songs of 2024 chart.

“I am incredibly fortunate to be part of the team that Ashley, Blain and Caroline have built,” shares Godwin. “In the short time I’ve been with them, it’s clear that the talent, drive and integrity of this team is unparalleled. I’m excited to grow alongside such a dedicated roster and look forward to advocating for these exceptional writers as they continue to build their careers.”
