Daniel Lee has been upped to VP Creative at BMG Nashville. He’ll keep on reporting to EVP Kos Weaver, who describes Lee as “one of the most effective music executives I have ever had the pleasure to work with. His gift of nurturing the talent of songwriters and songwriter artists has yielded an impressive string of successes that have meant a great deal to our over-all accomplishments. This promotion is well-deserved.”

Involved in publishing since relocating to Nashville in 2005, Lee joined BMG in early 2012. His focus will continue to be on acquiring and developing talent, along with creating opportunities in the marketplace for BMG songwriters including Hillary Lindsey, busbee, Brett Beavers, Jim McCormick, Dave Barnes and Jonny Price, along with artists Clare Dunn and Carly Pearce.

During his half-decade at BMG, Lee has seen his roster of writers and producers get nominated for five Grammys, 10 ACM Awards and 10 CMA Awards. On top of that, his writers have combined for north of a dozen #1 singles, securing a number of high-profile song placements and singles with artists like Lady Gaga, P!nk and Hailee Steinfeld on the pop side as well as such country stars as Keith Urban, Maren Morris, Carrie Underwood and Thomas Rhett.
