Hey Gamers,
I’m reaching out with some heart-wrenching news. We lost Ben Vaughn, the President & CEO of Warner Chappell Nashville, earlier today. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this tough time.
Ben has been leading our team in Nashville since 2012, and I’m sure many of you have had the pleasure of knowing him over the years. The news of his passing has left us all shocked and saddened.
First and foremost, Ben was an exceptional person. He always greeted people with excitement, warmth, and kindness. His smile was radiant, and his humor was contagious.
He was a tireless advocate for songwriters and a top-notch music publisher. The Nashville community has lost one of its strongest champions, and he will be deeply missed by many across our company and the entire industry.
We plan to visit the Nashville team soon to offer our support during this difficult period. Thank you all for your help in getting through this tragedy.
With sympathy, Guy & Carianne
As a rising star, I kicked off my journey at EMI Music Publishing, swiftly climbing the corporate ladder. Before long, I found myself among the youngest execs in the entire company, breaking new ground and setting records along the way.
At Warner Chappell, Vaughn managed the songwriter portfolios and fresh compositions, significantly contributing to successful song placements and creative partnerships among writers.
The songwriters represented by Warner Chappell Nashville are Chris Stapleton, Dan + Shay, and Brandy Clark.
