UMPG Nashville has promoted Cyndi Forman to SVP, A&R. In her new role, Forman is responsible for signing and developing new songwriting talent, supporting the current roster of writers and will play a key leadership role in further strengthening UMPGN’s creative division.

“Cyndi represents the very heart and soul of Universal Music Publishing,” said Tomlinson. “Her love for songwriters, her positive attitude and energizing personality permeates our entire team and our writer roster.”
Forman adds, “I have been so fortunate to call Universal Music Publishing Group home for the last 17 years. The foundation of this company is built upon valuing great songwriters and I have always shared that same passion.”
