Youngblood Named MCA West Coast Rep
MC-A Positive: Former Capitol Dir./West Coast Promotion Megan Youngblood has returned in the same position for MCA, effective immediately. She succeeds Anna Widmer, who recently joined Columbia as Southeast rep (CAT 8/16). “Megan is a high caliber radio and records pro that exudes passion for our artists and their music,” says VP/Promotion David Friedman. After exiting UMGN amid promo team restructuring earlier this year (CAT 2/6), Youngblood joined Drew Baldridge's Lyric Ridge Records to work his single, "She's Somebody's Daughter" (CAT 8/4). Steve Pleshe assumes her responsibilities at Lyric Ridge. Reach Youngblood here.
