Blake Duncan and Scott Hendricks have launched TAYCAN Entertainment, a Nashville-based independent music publishing and A&R company.

Duncan will serve as the president of day-to-day operations for the company. The Louisiana native previously served as Senior Creative Director at Combustion Music where he worked with Corey Kent, Thomas Archer, Brett Tyler, Joybeth Taylor, and more. Prior to Combustion, Duncan held creative and A&R roles at Dreamlined Entertainment, where he worked closely with Keith Stegall and was recognized by MusicRow as a Next Big Thing.

“I’m excited to launch TAYCAN Entertainment alongside Scott Hendricks,” says Duncan. “Scott has done it all, and I look forward to learning from him while helping push our creatives to reach their highest potential. Our goal is simple: find great songs, invest in great people, and build careers that last.”

Hendricks has produced 82 No. 1 singles and 126 Top 10 hits while helping launch and shape the careers of Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, Faith Hill, Dan + Shay, Hunter Hayes, Trace Adkins, and more. He has previously served as President and CEO of Capitol Records Nashville, Executive Vice President of A&R at Warner Music Nashville, President and CEO of Virgin Nashville, and more.

“I couldn’t be happier starting TAYCAN Entertainment with Blake Duncan,” adds Hendricks. “I haven’t met an executive with Blake’s passion for songwriters, knowledge, and work ethic in years. Together, we’re building a company centered around creativity, relationships, and helping writers reach their full potential. I truly believe the best is yet to come.”
