SPLICE CUTS IN EGAN

Former Pulse Music Group President/Head of Creative Maria Egan has joined Splice, a platform for digital music creators, as its first Chief Music Officer.

In the new role, Egan will oversee all aspects of Splice’s engagement with the creative community and wider music industry. Egan, who joined Pulse in 2013 and oversaw its A&R team, will lead efforts to identify new talent and supporting the songwriting, label and publishing communities with Splice’s technology.

“Maria deeply understands the creative process and how Splice fits into creation and collaboration at the top tiers of music,” said Splice Co-Founder and CEO Steve Martocci. “She also understands firsthand how Splice can be a pathway for talented bedroom creators to reach the traditional music industry. Maria joins at a time when the existing team’s contributions have helped put Splice on the music industry map and all over the radio in a major way.”

Egan will lead oversight of a new structure for Splice’s music and industry relations department, including Jen Mozenter, who has been promoted to VP of A&R. Mozenter and team have forged relationships between Splice and more than 700 artists to help distribute their sounds through the Splice Sounds library.

“I’ve watched Splice become a key player in this space and believe they’re positioned to be a leader in the future of collaboration,” Egan says. “It couldn’t be a better time to leverage their innovative tech and thriving community to give creators all around the world opportunities they wouldn’t otherwise have.”
