Music industry veteran and award-winning artist advocate Leslie Fram has established her new business venture, FEMco (Fram Entertainment & Music). The new company will serve as a consulting collective in artist development, talent booking & production and B2B connection within Nashville’s entertainment world, spearheaded by Fram in all areas.

Over the course of her 30+ year career, Fram has garnered experience in rock radio, pop and country music, talent development and executive leadership. Fram will bring her intuition for nurturing artists, offering mentorship and staying culturally connected to FEMco’s strategic development approach. FEMco will intentionally keep its artist consulting roster small to cultivate deep, impactful relationships that support artists in reaching their goals at every stage of their careers.

Fram most recently served as SVP of Music and Talent at CMT/Paramount for 13 years. While there, she executive-produced the CMT Music Awards, booked talent for CMT Crossroads, Storytellers and more and served as Talent Producer for Ringo & Friends At The Ryman. She also established CMT’s Next Women of Country program in 2013, and oversaw CMT’s Equal Play Program.

“I’ve always wanted to start my own company, one that was intentionally designed as a purpose-driven business that aligns with my personal and professional aspirations,” shares Fram. “Through my time in radio and television I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge, skills and insights from various roles, industries and projects that are not just a collection of past events but a foundation for this very kind of endeavor.”

“FEMco will allow me to focus on the parts of the business that have always brought me the most joy – advising and mentoring artists both male and female, booking and producing talent for a variety of entertainment platforms, creating connections between businesses and creatives, and championing women and underrepresented groups in country music,” she continues. “FEMco is the culmination of everything I’ve learned throughout my career and I’m honored and grateful to be able to give back and support a community that has given so much to me.”

FEMco will also offer a range of opportunities for female artists to grow their visibility and audience through events, sponsorships and more through its music-centric production division, FEMco Presents. Its first franchise, FEMcountry, builds on Fram’s legacy of developing acclaimed initiatives and showcases her ongoing commitment to amplifying female voices in country music. FEMcountry debuted last month at Reynolds Lake Oconee in Georgia and at Live In The Vineyard Goes Country in Napa, with additional events to be announced. FEMco Presents will soon branch into other genres with the launch of FEMpop and FEMrock.
