Centricity Music Elevates Matt Ewald To Head Of A&R
Centricity Music has elevated Matt Ewald to Head of A&R.
Ewald joined Centricity in 2016 and serves as Vice President of A&R. In his expanded role, he will oversee the company’s A&R strategy, including artist discovery, signing, development, song selection, repertoire direction and long-term creative planning while simultaneously working closely with Centricity’s label, publishing, marketing and executive teams.
“Matt has been a trusted creative voice and steady advocate for Centricity’s artists and writers,” says Caren Seidle, CEO of Centricity Music. “He understands the heart of our mission, the importance of long-term artist development and the responsibility we carry in offering music that encourages and inspires people. His role in A&R reflects both the leadership he has already demonstrated and the vision he brings for shaping the future of our roster.”
Ewald succeeds outgoing President of A&R John Mays in leading the A&R department.
“There was so much to learn from Matt during my decade of working alongside him,” says Mays. “How to be a better A&R person, sure, but also how to be a better man. Centricity is fortunate to move into the future with Matt heading up the A&R team and contributing more involved leadership to the company’s mission, vision and direction.”
