Big Machine Label Group President/CEO Scott Borchetta announced that BMLG EVP/Republic Nashville President Jimmy Harnen has signed a new multi-year deal with the company. Harnen will continue to oversee the company’s three labels, including Big Machine Records, The Valory Music Co. and Republic Nashville.
“The leadership and musical vision that Jimmy has brought to the Big Machine Label Group has helped propel us to heights I honestly hadn’t imagined,” said Borchetta. “What he has done with Republic Nashville is historic and many of his initiatives have spread across the entire BMLG platform to make the Machine run even smoother and faster. I’m thrilled that he has made a long-term commitment to continue his great work with the BMLG!”
Harnen has demonstrated success in developing the careers of Florida Georgia Line, The Band Perry, Eli Young Band and Cassadee Pope. With Harnen’s guidance, Republic Nashville has achieved eleven No.1s, seventeen Top 10 singles and sales exceeding five million albums and thirty-three million tracks.
“BMLG continues to create and deliver historic accomplishments in the music business on all levels,” said Harnen. “It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of such a ground breaking company and to have so much fun in the process!”
