BBRMG/BMG Nashville Pres. Jon Loba has been promoted to Pres./ Frontline Recordings, North America at BMG, taking charge of the company's entire North American frontline records business across Nashville, Los Angeles, New York and Canada. He has been with BMG since 2017, when the company acquired Nashville-based BBR Music Group. Loba’s additional responsibilities will include the Rise (Spiritbox, Sum 41) and RBC (Chief Keef, Run The Jewels) imprints, as well as the main BMG label. Additionally, Thomas Scherer, who previously ran the company's publishing and recordings in Los Angeles and New York, becomes Pres./Global Catalog Recordings, while retaining his responsibilities as Pres./Music Publishing, North America.
CEO Thomas Coesfeld said, “Under Jon Loba, BMG Nashville has exceeded our expectations year after year. Jon is not only one of the most accomplished record executives in Nashville, the multi-genre success he has achieved with Jelly Roll makes him the ideal person to take additional responsibility.”
