Sony/ATV Nashville chief Troy Tomlinson was honored with the Robert E. Mulloy Award of Excellence at Nashville's Belmont University on 4/26. The ceremony, at Belmont's Mike Curb College of Entertainment & Music Business, saw video tributes pour in from the likes of Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Luke Bryan, Brett Eldredge and Cole Swindell.

Dean Doug Howard hailed Tomlinson's "hard work, great musical instincts and his universal reputation for serving the business community with honesty and integrity."

Said Tomlinson, paying tribute to the namesake of his award, "Bob Mulloy loved songwriters, artists, musicians, engineers, producers and Belmont University," adding, "Nashville is a better music center because of Belmont’s presence here.”
