Identifying and signing new talent and maintaining relationships with existing BMI affiliates worldwide will remain an essential element of their roles.
As Associate Director, Nashville, Dodelin will support Nashville’s growing number of indie/rock music creators, curate showcases, coordinate writing sessions and mixers, and create new opportunities to champion Music City’s thriving songwriting community.
