Ross Golan will be stepping into the role of Co-Chair of the Songwriters and Composers Wing alongside the current Chair Evan Bogart and S&C Wing Senior Managing Director Susan Stewart. In this role, Golan will help shape programming, promote membership and collaborate with industry partners.
“From its inception, I’ve seen how the S&C Wing has provided its diverse and growing membership the support it needs to thrive in this challenging time,” says Golan. “We’re at a critical moment for songwriters and composers, and we creators need this community more than ever. It’s a privilege to step into this role as Co-Chair and I look forward to collaborating with the entire organization to advocate for the thousands of members who call the S&C Wing their home.”
Golan studied music at the University of Southern California and has since penned songs for artists including Ariana Grande, Céline Dion, Michael Bublé, Sabrina Carpenter and more. He was named BMI Songwriter Of The Year in 2o16. His musicals have garnered eight Drama Desk nominations. His podcast And The Writer Is earns over a million views across platforms every week. He was the first songwriter on the board of the National Music Publishers Association and is currently on the board of Songwriters of North America and the co-chair of NMPA’s Gold and Platinum Program.
