In this role, Way will lead the overall strategy for the company’s Nashville office and its day-to-day operations, including signing and developing new talent.

According to EMPIRE, Way will also be tasked with “supporting each artist’s creative vision with impactful music release campaigns, cultivating new business opportunities and driving the continued growth of EMPIRE Nashville’s roster and presence in Music City and around the world”.

Way joins EMPIRE with more than 19 years of music industry experience.

Most recently, she served as SVP of Marketing at Sony Music Nashville, where she oversaw the label group’s domestic and international marketing efforts, which included digital marketing, artist development, creative, content development, and media.

EMPIRE noted in its announcement on Monday (July 21) that under her leadership, Way and her team created strategic campaigns for a roster including Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Old Dominion Megan Moroney, and more, “resulting in countless No. 1 hits across multiple genres, RIAA-Platinum and multi-Platinum records, and a multitude of award wins”.

Prior to joining Sony Nashville, Way worked in Marketing and Artist Development at UMG Nashville, where she was “integral in launching the careers of superstars” Chris Stapleton and Kacey Musgraves.

This announcement arrives after a record-breaking year for EMPIRE, where breakout country act Shaboozey’s crossover hit A Bar Song (Tipsy) went top 10 on four major charts: Country Airplay, Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay, and Rhythmic Airplay, which EMPIRE calls “an unprecedented accomplishment”.

The track also spent a record-setting 19 weeks at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and has also achieved over 1.3 billion streams on Spotify alone.

“I’m thrilled and honored to be joining EMPIRE – a team of disrupters who prioritize originality, innovation and artist-first thinking at every turn.”
