Bright Leaves Foundry: Producer/songwriter/publisher Mark Bright has parted ways with Foundry Records, which he helped launch in September (CAT 9/30/19) with oversight of A&R. “My work with Foundry has come to an end, but I value the time spent shepherding the new venture,” says Bright. “The creative community is a constantly changing landscape, and I’m moving on to new endeavors.” Adds Foundry GM Cole Johnstone, "We appreciated our time with Mark and wish him all the best. Foundry is continuing to add to our team as our artists have projects slated to release this year; announcements to come soon."
