AIMP Nashville Board Announces Members of First-Ever Young Professional Committee 

The Nashville Chapter Board of Directors of the Association of Independent Music Publishers (AIMP) has announced the formation of the inaugural AIMP Nashville Young Professional Committee. Similar to the AIMP Nashville Board, the Young Professional Committee’s primary purpose is to educate, inform, and share insight on the inner workings of independent music publishing while also encouraging and involving members in the young professional music community.

“One of our most important goals at AIMP Nashville is to strengthen our independent publishing community by educating and inspiring the next generation of leaders in our field. Each member of our Young Professional Committee is a testament to the success of that approach,” said John Ozier, National Chair of the AIMP and President of the AIMP Nashville Chapter. “These talented young executives represent the future of Nashville independent music publishing, and we are excited to work with them as they innovate new ways to engage our community.”

The AIMP Nashville Young Professional Committee also announced their first event, “The Masked Singer of Music Row,” which will take place on Tuesday, January 11th, 2022 at a location to be announced shortly. The event will feature some of Music Row’s favorite industry executives as they disguise themselves and perform just as they do on the wildly successful FOX show, “The Masked Singer.” AIMP committee members are invited to attend for free, and non-members will be able to purchase a ticket to the show. Keep an eye on the AIMP webpage for more details.
