Mercury/Nashville SVPP Damon Moberly has been promoted to SVPP for UMG/Nashville, overseeing promotion across the group's four imprints. UMGN's promotion head role has been vacant since last year's departure of Royce Risser (CAT 4/4/23); promotion oversight since was handled by EVP/COO Mike Harris, who has left the label to head Republic/Nashville (CAT 9/5).
"Damon is such a champion of great artists and songs,” says UMGN Chair & CEO Cindy Mabe. “His passion for music and his skillset of building people and teams makes him the perfect person to lead our promotion team to new depths." Adds Moberly, "I’ve been fortunate to call Mercury Records Nashville my only label home for the past 26 years. I’m honored to now work with all the UMG/Nashville imprints and artists alongside the best promotion pros in the business. Thanks to Cindy Mabe for this opportunity.”
Moberly was named SVP in 2020 (CAT 10/30/20) and VP in 2007 (CAT 12/7/07) following time as Sr. Dir./Southeast Promotion and Sr. Dir./Northeast Promotion. Prior to joining Mercury in 1998, he was PD for WVLK/Lexington. Reach him here.
