Jody Williams Songs has elevated Tenasie Courtright to Director, Creative & A&R.

Formerly serving as Creative Director at the company, Courtright took on added duties by performing hands-on A&R for JWS writer-artists Emily Ann Roberts, Ashley McBryde, Harper O’Neill and Peytan Porter.

“When we discovered Tenasie’s natural abilities for A&R we encouraged her in this area and were extremely pleased with the results,” shares Nina Fisher, VP/GM of JWS. “She is a key member of our creative team, and we are lucky to have her.”

Additionally, Jonah Gordon has joined Jody Williams Songs as Manager, Sync & A&R.

Gordon comes to JWS from the sync department of Big Yellow Dog Music, which was recently acquired by Sony Music Publishing.

“Jonah is the right person at the right time to ramp up our sync business and enhance creative services for our writers,” Fisher adds. “He brings a skill set to our company that will help us to evolve and broaden the reach of our songs.”
