AIMP Nashville Young Professionals Announces Unsigned Songwriter Series Winners
The Association of Independent Music Publishers Nashville Young Professionals Committee has announced the winners of its first-ever AIMP U:Unsigned Songwriter Series.
The new initiative was created by the AIMP Young Professionals Committee to spotlight exceptional unsigned talent and provide a platform for discovery and community within the heart of Music Row. After receiving over 150 submissions, the committee has selected six standout songwriters who represent the future of Nashville’s songwriting community.
The inaugural AIMP U: Class of 2025 includes Becca Rae Green, Fran Litterski, Karleigh Schmidt, Nell Maynard, Taylor Goyette and Sarah Killian. The six writers will be featured in a special showcase hosted by MCA recording artist Kassi Ashton and songwriter Rocky Block on June 24 at 6 p.m. at The Listening Room Café. The one-night-only event will introduce the rising stars to an audience of music publishers, industry professionals, and fellow creatives.
“This is the first time we’ve launched a series like this, and we were blown away by the response,” says Jacee Badeaux, AIMP YP Committee Chair. “Over 150 incredibly talented writers applied, and narrowing it down to just six was no easy task. Each of these songwriters brings something unique and powerful to the table, and we’re excited to share their work with the community.”
