Co With The Flow:
"Artists have a lot of options for getting their music into the world, and our team is second to none in helping them make and deliver records that move the needle and open hearts," says newly named Warner Music Nashville Co-President Cris Lacy (Breaking News). She joins Ben Kline in helming the company as John Esposito prepares a shift to Chairman Emeritus. She adds, "Ben and I have been working together for years. I can’t wait to build upon our partnership." Kline says, "Cris likes to call us a village, and I love that description – we’re a tightly knit group of colleagues and artists working together within the amazing Warner Music ecosystem." Esposito sums, "It’s been truly inspiring to watch Cris and Ben grow into their new roles. They’re two of the most innovative, passionate, and devoted music people in the Nashville community." Kline and Lacy rise from EVP/GM and EVP/A&R, respectively. Esposito remains Chairman/CEO through year-end. Reach Esposito here, Kline here and Lacy here.
