\n\tSYDNEY, Australia \u2014 With a string of new leadership promotions in Australian, Southeast Asia and further afield, Warner Music is laying down what its top brass anticipates will serve as a multi-lane highway for its artist roster.<\/p>\n

\n\tUnveiled Wednesday, Dec. 10, Warner Music Australasia<\/a> and SE Asia elevate several key executives, a move designed to fulfil the music giant\u2019s mission \u2014 to take its local artists global, and make its global artists local.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe appointments include Alex Young\u2019s promotion to VP domestic artists, Warner Music Australasia, a pivotal role overseeing all domestic areas including A&R, creative, and marketing, focusing on nurturing local talent, according to the company.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the same time, Dan Ellis rises to VP, international artist strategy, WMA and SE Asia. Ellis will be integral in leading WMG\u2019s global offering to its international artists across SE Asia and Australasia.<\/p>\n

\n\tYoung and Ellis report to Dan Rosen, president of Warner Music Australasia and SE Asia.<\/p>\n

\n\tThese changes, reads a statement, should \u201cstrengthen its domestic artist pipeline and accelerate the global export of music from the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new structure was unveiled just six weeks following Rosen\u2019s own promotion<\/a>, which saw the Sydney-based exec add duties for Warner Music\u2019s recorded music activities across SE Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s an incredible opportunity. Southeast Asia is an incredibly dynamic region with more than 500 million people living in the region,\u201d Rosen tells Billboard<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEach country is different, has its own unique culture, it\u2019s own unique music industry, but the one common thread across all of it is, it\u2019s dynamic. It\u2019s growing. There\u2019s wonderful entrepreneurialism in the region and a real desire to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWithin the new structure, Young will be supported by Charlotte Kindred, who is promoted to head of domestic artist strategy, WMA, leading the day-to-day execution of domestic and export strategy.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso, Sarah Thomas is elevated to artist relations & promotions manager Australasia export. In this newly-created role, Thomas will relocate from Sydney to New York, where she will establish new global networks and export opportunities for Australasian artists.<\/p>\n

\n\tEllis will be supported by Lucy Baker, who is promoted to head of PR, artist relations & wellbeing, with responsibilities for leading PR, artist relations, and radio promotional efforts for Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

\n\tJordon Dionatos is appointed international artist strategy lead, Australasia and Lisan Yee is named as international artist strategy lead, SE Asia, based in Singapore.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, a new specialized structure will facilitate advanced digital and fan engagement with Manny Kupelian assuming the post as head of creator strategy, reporting jointly to Ellis and Young. Kupelian oversees the creator & influencer team across the region.<\/p>\n

\n\tFinally, Mat Buck is promoted to GM streaming, social & community, while Luke Vespa is tapped as streaming & partnerships lead, reporting to Buck.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new structure, reckons Rosen, represents a balance of agility and specialization, ensuring the music major has the know-how on the spot to seize opportunities in a region that\u2019s home to recognized\u00a0trigger markets Philippines and Indonesia, and the important English-language sources that are the lands down under.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere\u2019s an enormous opportunity for both our Australian and New Zealand artists, or regional artists from other parts of the APAC,\u201d explains Rosen, \u201cand then for our big global artists.\u201d Southeast Asia \u201ccan be a really great catalyst\u201d for WMA\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n

\n\tAustralia\u2019s music pipeline is gushing right now, as the likes of Amyl and The Sniffers, Dom Dolla, Ninajirachi, Confidence Man, Royel Otis and many others cross borders, and enjoy \u201cglobal\u201d status.<\/p>\n

\n\tWMA\u2019s domestic roster includes Boy Soda, who collected his first ARIA Award<\/a> last month, and Kita Alexander, who performed at the recording industry\u2019s flagship ceremony. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s exciting that there is so much talent coming out of Australia and New Zealand again,\u201d enthuses Rosen. \u201cThere\u2019s a new generation of artists that are \u2018born global\u2019. From day one, they understand the global platform world that we live in, but still understand that they\u2019ve got to be great live acts, build fans, be authentic, and be great storytellers. I think we\u2019re on the precipice of this next wave of Aussie and Kiwi artists on the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
