Cole Brown Joins Creative Nation As Publishing, Management & Records A&R

November 10, 2025/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Cole Brown

Cole Brown has joined Creative Nation as Publishing, Management & Records A&R.

A Nashville native, Brown graduated from Lipscomb University with a degree in Law, Justice, and Society, and is currently pursuing his Juris Doctor degree at Nashville School of Law. Before graduation Brown interned with Creative Nation, and also interened for KP Entertainment. In his new role, he will act as a liaison between the Publishing, Management & Records teams scouting new talent, pitching songs, and helping with day-to-day management duties and artist development.

“While working with Cole as an intern and getting to know his great ear, confident drive, and strong pulse on upcoming songwriters and artists, it became obvious to us that we needed to make things more permanent,” says Emily Furman, VP, Creative. “His perspective is a welcomed asset to our creative team!”

“From day one as an intern, Cole demonstrated exceptional work ethic, strong instincts, and a true passion for artists and great songs,” shares Brandon Gill, SVP, Management & Records. “His drive and values align perfectly with our culture, and we’re confident he’ll make a meaningful impact across both our Management & Records divisions.”

“I am so thankful for the continued support and opportunities that Beth [Laird] and Luke [Laird] and the entire Creative Nation team have given me,” adds Brown. “I’m excited to continue working with the incredible roster of writers here at Creative Nation, and getting to have a small role in their careers.”
