BMI promoted Shannon Sanders to assistant vice president, Creative, Nashville, on November 12. He reports to Clay Bradley, the company’s vice president for that department.

Sanders will continue signing and developing talent and supporting songwriters through educational programs, showcases and industry networking, BMI said.

He joined BMI in 2020 as executive director, Creative, Nashville. Before that, he founded and served as program director of Nashville’s 102.1 The VILLE, which focused on classic soul, R&B and local artists.

The promotion identifies a creative-development contact for songwriters; BMI did not announce new application rules or royalty terms with the personnel change.
