Christy Cooking: Industry vet Christy DiNapoli has joined Valory as Dir./Southwest Promotion & Marketing, succeeding Brad Howell, who exited earlier this month (CAT 6/11). He will report to GM George Briner. "Christy brings a vast array of experience to The Valory Music Co," says Briner. "His background in management, publishing and producing adds that much more to what we are already building and as a friend to many within industry already, he is wired to win."
