Range Music Ups Sam Drake to SVP A&R

Range Music Publishing has promoted Sam Drake, who joined the team in 2022, to Senior Vice President A&R.

Drake, who formerly worked at Sony Music Publishing, is responsible for bringing some major scores to Range, including Sean Cook’s credits on Shaboozey’s “Tipsy (A Bar Song),” Paul Russell’s ASCAP Pop Award-winning “Lil Boo Thing” and Geoff Warburton’s country chart-topping Tyler Hubbard hit “Back Then Right Now.”

She's helped lead the division to such major milestones as seven top-charting songs at multiple radio formats.

“From day one, Sam has been instrumental in shaping our culture and positioning Range Music Publishing as a standout among boutique publishers,” said Casey Robison, head of Range Music Publishing. “Her efforts have been key to expanding the division’s capabilities beyond music, strengthening our creative vision and strategy... I’m proud to celebrate her growth and impact.”

Everyone at Range is also proud of Drake for quickly learning the importance of avoiding our calls.
