Former Valory VP/Promotion & Marketing Chris Palmer has been named Triple Tigers Records/Akando Music VP/National Promotion. He succeeds Raffaella Braun, who rose to Co-President earlier this month (CAT 7/7). “[Chris] brings the experience and creative juices, but most of all, the passion and fun we all love about this job," says Braun. Palmer exited Valory when the imprint was shuttered by Hybe America in February (CAT 2/13). Before joining BMLG in 2018, he spent seven years at Warner Music Nashville (Breaking News 12/6/2017) and 12 at Lyric Street. Reach him here.
