APA Sr. VP and Partner, Steve Lassiter, who heads the agency’s Nashville office, welcomed BubbleUp VP of Marketing Scott Heuerman and his staffers to the penthouse of One Nashville Place, APA’s new local office.

“BubbleUp has become one of the best online marketing agencies in the country, especially when it relates to entertainment. We have the pleasure of working with these guys on various artists on a day-to-day basis, so it was great to get to know them better in an informal session,” said Lassiter.

“There are some artists, when you meet them, you know right away that they’re someone you want to work with,” said Silverado Founder and CEO, Scott Thomas. “She’s a special girl, she’s extremely talented, and we’re over the moon about working with her to build her career, and share her talent with the world.”

Signed to a multi-project, long-term deal, Morgan is working on developing new material, and will begin recording her debut single soon.
