With the rapid growth both Country and Latin music genres are experiencing, industry professionals from both genres came together to discuss the importance of riding the momentum. Moderated by Michael Farris (CMA Senior Director, Business Strategy & Insights), panelists John Murphy (Luminate Data Vice President, Publishing and Financial Solutions) and Stephanie Davenport (Warner Music Nashville Senior Director, A&R) shared their thoughts about Country Music’s rapid growth throughout the last year, wins for the genre and opportunities with comparable genres such as Latin music. The discussion centered around how each genre could benefit from collaboration and what that collaboration could potentially look like.
