The MCA staff gathered last week to mark the beginning of a new chapter for the label, which recently rebranded from UMG Nashville to MCA (Music Corporation of America).

The team convened for a series of meetings that highlighted the label’s vision for the future. After these meetings, the team was treated to performances and previews of new music from MCA artists such as Jordan Davis, Carter Faith, Josh Ross, Tucker Wetmore, Brothers Osborne, Jon Pardi, Keith Urban and Luke Bryan.

Under the leadership of Mike Harris, President and CEO, and Dave Cobb, Chief Creative Officer, MCA aims to lead a transformation in the music industry by putting artists at the forefront and creating a collaborative, community-driven ecosystem designed to foster creative freedom and purpose-driven success.

“At MCA, we’re no longer just about signing talent; we’re about creating a space where our artists and their teams can thrive, with the creative autonomy they deserve, and the support they need to make meaningful, long-lasting impacts on their careers,” shares Harris.

In addition to Harris and Cobb, the rebranding marks the addition of industry veteran Katie McCartney as Executive Vice President/General Manager. The company also recently announced the promotion of Rob Femia to Chief Operating Officer, expanding his responsibilities as Executive Vice President of Business & Legal Affairs to also oversee day-to-day operations for the label group, ensuring operational efficiency and aligning with MCA’s strategic goals.
