Black River Entertainment has named Derek Anderson as the Director of Revenue and Streaming. In this newly created position, Anderson will oversee all aspects of sales, streaming and new media for Black River Entertainment.
“I’m incredibly excited to be working with the exceptional team at Black River and this growing roster,” says Anderson. “Having followed their meteoric rise from afar and having most recently serviced as liaison to the label at The Orchard, I’m very much looking forward to building on a great foundation and continuing to grow personally and collectively with the BRE team.”
Black River Entertainment EVP Rick Froio adds, “We are thrilled to welcome Derek to our Black River family. His knowledge of the digital/streaming space will prove to be a valuable asset for our company and artists.”
Originally from Weston, Connecticut, Anderson spent seven years in New York and made the move to Nashville in January of this year. Prior to joining the team at Black River, Anderson was a part of the Label Management team at RED Distribution, Kobalt Music’s AWAL platform, and most recently at The Orchard’s Nashville office. A graduate of Boston’s Berklee College of Music Anderson majored in Music Business/Management and studied drum set proficiency.
