Warner Chappell Music has upped David Goldsen to SVP/North American A&R, in which capacity he’ll continue to report to WCM President/North America Ryan Press.

Goldsen, who joined WCM in 2009, is coming off a banner year in which he signed Zach Bryan, Teddy Swims, The Red Clay Strays, Laufey and Sleep Token. He also continues to work with Mitski, whom he brought to WCM back in 2018. His roster is rounded out by Vance Joy, Tones and I, Nathaniel Rateliff, Oliver Tree and Cavetown.

The L.A.-based exec most recently served as WCM's VP/Creative and head of A&R, Australia. He's spent the past two years leading WCM strategy Down Under while continuing to support its U.S., U.K. and international roster.

“I'm very lucky and proud to get to work with the best writers and artists and look forward to continuing to build on the fantastic development we've seen recently," Goldsen said.

"David has consistently proven his natural ability to discover and sign top talent. He has steadily built a star-studded roster, and in the past year alone, has brought in many of the artists and songwriters leading today's charts," added Press. "I’m proud of everything he’s accomplished on our team as an executive and inspiring leader."
