Younger Joins The Core Records
Warner Music Nashville VP/Artist Development Jamie Younger has joined The Core Records in the same role. "Younger's ability to navigate the evolving music landscape has consistently resulted in history-making projects," say Co-Founders/CEOs Chief Zaruk and Simon Tikhman. Adds Younger, "From the company’s culture to the depth of the roster, it’s a testament to the team’s ability to nurture multi-genre talent.” Younger spent 12 years at WMN, rising to VP in 2022 (CAT 6/23/22). Prior stops include Thirty Tigers and American Songwriter. The Core Records is a co-venture with Universal Music Group (CAT 7/10/23). Over at WMN, the Artist Development team was recently merged and rebranded into the comprehensive Marketing department (CAT 7/17).
