It’s time to drop the needle on another Executive Turntable, Billboard’s weekly compendium of promotions, hirings, exits and firings — and all things in between — across the music business. There’s been a bit of staffing news this week, so let’s hop to it.
Whitaker Elledge stepped into the lead role at Nashville-based label Dualtone, following the passing in December of former president Paul Roper after a battle with cancer. Elledge will remain based in Nashville and will report to MNRK Music Group’s COO Chris Moncada. Since joining Dualtone in 2018, Elledge has held several roles in A&R and artist development, before being promoted to general manager/senior vp in 2023. Dualtone was founded in 2021 and has a current roster that includes The Lumineers, Langhorne Slim, Shovels & Rope, Gregory Alan Isakov and Kathleen Edwards. The Dualtone team also includes Daniel Higbee (vp, synch), Julie Muncy (senior vp, promotion), Joey Luscinsky (senior vp, production & design), Alyssa Austin (senior director, eCommerce + strategy), Dana Murray (director, artist development), Emily Allen (senior manager of operations and marketing), and Sidney Campbell (manager of operations & marketing). —Jessica Nicholson
Kobalt appointed music industry veteran Jason Feinberg as senior vice president and head of KOSIGN, its new platform designed to support the creator middle class. Feinberg brings a strong background in artist-focused technology and marketing, previously serving as managing partner at 138 Strategic, svp of marketing at Universal Music Group, and head of artist marketing at Pandora AMP. KOSIGN also promoted David Waite to operations lead and Jacob Paul to vp of platform growth and brand strategy. Launched earlier this year, KOSIGN enables artists, songwriters and producers to collect publishing royalties with flexibility and transparency. Built on Kobalt’s global infrastructure, KOSIGN offers global royalty collection, real-time transparency and an 80/20 royalty split in favor of writers. “I’m passionate about everything that KOSIGN stands for,” said Feinberg. “The platform empowers artists to collect their publishing revenue around the world, providing them the freedom and support they deserve.”
