Emerging singer-songwriter Madelyn Rose has inked with Nashville-based label Vere Music. She has also tapped Richard Ellis of Gold Mountain Entertainment for management.

Growing up in a small town in central New York, Rose discovered her love of music at the age of four through a garage sale keyboard. Two years later, she began singing with a small guitar amp and microphone, then uploading the videos to YouTube. Since arriving in Nashville, Rose has spent hundreds of hours writing, recording, and honing her craft. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, she taught herself how to mix and master songs, further showcasing her work ethic and desire to carve out her own lane in the industry.

Rose’s debut single, “Taillights Fade,” will be released on Jan. 27. Rose, who is currently a full-time student, co-wrote the tune alongside Lauryn Tauber and Justin Klump, who also served as a co-producer alongside Brian Malouf.

“I am so excited to have my first debut single in the hands of Vere Music,” Rose shares. “I am so proud of the song and the message it stands for, I hope girls like me can relate!”

Rhythm House has made two new moves as the year comes to a close by re-signing songwriter and producer Alysa Vanderheym, as well as promoting Vanna Moua to Creative Director.

“We’re so lucky to continue working with both Alysa and Vanna,” shares Stevie Frasure, VP of Rhythm House. “Alysa has really come into her own in the last few years and is just killing the game with more and more hits, not only as a writer but a producer as well. She continues to bring such fresh, creative energy to everything she does.” She continues, “Vanna has been one of the best assets to Rhythm House. It fills us with pride to see her grow from intern, to manager, to director. She has truly taken on this position and made it her own. With both of these creative women, I know Rhythm House is in the best hands in all aspects of the industry.”

Vanderheym originally signed her exclusive publishing deal with Rhythm House in September of 2019. The multi-genre songwriter has co-written hits such as “Lose Somebody” by Kygo and OneRepublic, country superstar Kelsea Ballerini‘s single “Heartfirst” as well as eight cuts on the Heartfirst album, “I Remember” by Cheat Codes and Russell Dickerson, and a No. 1 single with “Cold Beer Calling My Name” by Jameson Rodgers ft. Luke Combs.

“I’m so grateful to continue working with this crew,” Vanderheym notes. “Jesse [Frasure] has been my biggest champ since day one, and I’m proud of what we’ve done together so far, but even more excited for what’s to come!”

A Knoxville, Tennessee native, Moua began her career at Rhythm House in the fall of 2018 as an intern. Following her graduation from Middle Tennessee State University, Moua was immediately hired as Creative Assistant, which quickly led to her first promotion as manager.

“I’m so excited to be on this journey with my Rhythm House team who continue to inspire me with their passion and drive each day,” Moua says. “I’m very fortunate to call Jesse Frasure, Stevie Frasure, and Alysa Vanderheym my dream team, and I look forward to our growth and all that is to come in this next chapter together!”

Over the course of his 35-year career in the entertainment industry, Pete Fisher has held multiple positions and developed strong relationships in various facets, leading him to his current roles as Entertainment Industry Consultant at full-service financial and lifestyle management firm Valiant Wealth, and President of Fisher Entertainment Consulting (FEC).

Fisher started in the music business as an intern at the Warner Chappell/Warner Reprise publishing joint-venture WarnerSongs, Inc. during his senior year at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU). He was later hired on as Director of Creative Services of the joint-venture. His responsibilities included negotiating songwriter agreements, copyright administration, and song-plugging, as well as artist and songwriter development. As a publisher based at a record label, he also gained experience in A&R coordination.

He then moved over to artist management, partnering with Creative Trust to form Fisher Raines Entertainment. Fisher managed artists Carolyn Arends, Marcus Hummon, and Paul Brandt before joining the Grand Ole Opry as its General Manager in 1999.

During his nearly 18 years at the Grand Ole Opry, Fisher oversaw oversaw all of the iconic venue’s activities, including the inductions of Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, and more. He also helped to produce the Opry’s television and radio specials.

In January of 2017, Fisher left the Opry and moved to California to serve as CEO of the Academy of Country Music. He led strategic planning for ACM and oversaw projects across all departments. He also organized events including the 52nd-54th Annual ACM Awards, and produced the televised ceremonies.

After exiting his post at ACM in May of 2019, it was important to Fisher that he evaluate his passions before entering the next phase of his career.

“I’m a person who believes passion is what fuels us in our work. Being well-aligned with what your passionate about has a lot to do with success. The most successful times in my career [took place] when I was having the most fun,” he shares.

Helping individuals and organizations realize their full potential and purpose in life is the first passion Fisher is pumping into this new chapter, something he has been able to do through his work with Valiant Wealth.

He moved back to Nashville in late 2019 and joined the Valiant team as their Entertainment Industry Consultant in 2020. He has since used the relationships he’s developed throughout his career to connect the music and television industries with Valiant’s variety of services such as investment planning; asset management; tax, legal and personal accounting integration; estate planning; private asset ventures; philanthropy and charitable giving; risk management; and customized concierge services.

“It’s been super rewarding to introduce folks both inside and outside of the entertainment industry to Valiant and the work that they do,” Fisher states.

He has played a crucial part in identifying private equity opportunities, a unique service Valiant provides. These opportunities help to solve problems within fields such as entertainment and apparel. It was Fisher who notably connected production campus Worldwide Stages in Spring Hill, Tennessee with the Valiant private equity team, which resulted in the acquisition and renovation of the 38-acre, 330,000 sq. ft. facility, helping to reduce the shortage of suitable spaces for rehearsal and production. Worldwide Stages has now hosted many of the biggest names in music and television. In addition to uniting the facility with Valiant, Fisher currently sits on Worldwide Stages’ Board of Directors.

He’s also connected Valiant with Bespoke Manufacturing Company in Phoenix, Arizona, which makes on-demand apparel manufacturing sustainable, scalable, and profitable, assisting the apparel industry in shifting to a more environment-friendly model.

His passion for helping others achieve their goals also radiates through his work within his own firm, Fisher Entertainment Consulting, through which he personally manages his daughter-in-law, author and artist Jessica Willis Fisher, who recently released her memoir Unspeakable: Surviving My Childhood and Finding My Voice.

His work with Jessica also flows into the next passion fueling Fisher, which is telling meaningful stories through music, television, and film. He began storytelling through song in the early stages of his career, and is now dabbling in storytelling through cinema.

“I love how stories can be told through different [forms of] media,” he says.

Currently, Fisher is working on a feature film about the “rowdy and romantic” life and love story of Little Jimmy and Mona Dickens alongside his production partner Ken Carpenter. He got to know Little Jimmy, who passed away in 2015, during his time with the Opry. Fisher and his wife, Hope, have maintained a close relationship with Mona over the years. He hopes to go into full film production in 2023.

The third passion charging the industry veteran’s current career stage is using his experiences and relationships to help philanthropic organizations. Fisher has served as a leader and member of multiple boards. He served as Chairman of MTSU’s Board of Trust from 2015 to 2018. He was founding board member of Brad Paisley and Kimberly Williams-Paisley‘s organization The Store, which operates year-round as a grocery store that allows people to shop for basic needs free-of-charge. He has also served on boards for the Recording Academy, ACM Lifting Lives, Leadership Music, Grand Ole Opry Trust Fund, and MusiCares.

Presently, Fisher serves as Chairman and President of the Scott Hamilton Cares Foundation, which seeks to be a liaison between researchers and organizations to increase the advancement of clean treatments for isolated cancers. He is also a Music Heals International board member.

Working with Valiant and forming FEC has allowed Fisher to combine these three passions while expanding his knowledge on the wealth management part of entertainment.

“As you get older, you rely more on doing things that you love to do—really love to do— with people you love. I’m fortunate to find myself still making a living doing the things I love to do.”

Morgan Wallen nearly sweeps the top five country streaming songs this week with the release of his three-song pack, One Thing At A Time – Sampler. He also nabbed the top two country song debuts.
