The Nashville chapter of AIMP (Association of Independent Music Publishers) has added six new members to its Young Professionals Committee for 2024.

Courtney Kruckeberg (Endurance Music Group), Autumn Ledgin (Back Blocks Music), Jacee Badeaux (Big Yellow Dog Music), JD Groover (Sea Gayle Music), Sam Sarno (SMACKsongs) and Sam Shelton (Goat Island Sound) have all joined the Young Professionals Committee.

The Committee has also announced several events planned for 2024, including a fall panel at Belmont University where YPC members and industry veterans will share insights with students, and a “Back Then Breakfast” event in which music publishing executives will share their journey through the industry. The YPC will also launch its Independent Songwriter Series this year, which will expand the annual AIMP Nashville Songwriter Series to unsigned Nashville-based songwriters. The 2024 edition of the Independent Songwriter Series will mark the chapter’s 10th installment.

The AIMP Nashville YPC’s goal is to educate and inform music publishers about the most current industry trends and practices by providing a forum for the discussion of issues and problems confronting the publishing industry and activating the next generation of music publishers, involving more students and driving student membership.
