Marc Driskill

In Marc’s time as VP/GM of Sea Gayle Music, he led the company to twenty three number 1 songs, and helped the two-time ASCAP Country Publisher of the Year to continue its run as one of Nashville’s most successful independent music publishers and artist development companies.
He began his career in the music industry at ASCAP where, in his role as Director of Business Affairs, he developed an intricate knowledge of songwriter and publisher revenue streams and created resources to help songwriters and publishers better understand and manage their performance royalties. After more than eight years of building relationships and experience at ASCAP, he was hired as Chief Operating Officer to help launch the publishing and copyright administration divisions of Big Loud, where he was instrumental in the foundation to the success of the company today. After a few years in that role, ASCAP hired him back as VP/GM of the Nashville office to lead the entire Nashville team through a critical transition period.
Marc’s entire career in music has been centered on working with songwriters and music publishers, on both the business and creative aspects of their career. With a true love of music and a dedication to creators’ rights, he has served as a member of the National Music Publisher’s Association’s (NMPA) Independent Publishers Advisory Committee. He served on the steering committee for the Nashville Chapter of the Association of Independent Music Publishers (AIMP) and was elected as Executive Director of the Chapter, leading the organization for two consecutive terms.
He also has served as industry advisor in Belmont University’s prestigious Pipeline Project and as an industry mentor for both the Recording Academy’s Grammy U and Belmont University’s One On One Mentorship Program. Outside of the music industry, he has served on the Executive Committee of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night Walk and on the event committee for Hope Grows Here, an event to help support the function and mission of the Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital Pediatric ICU.
Marc earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from Samford University in Birmingham, AL and currently resides in Franklin, TN with his wife of almost 27 years and has two sons, Jacob, who is completing his Architecture & Design degree at Belmont University, and Nick, who is in the pre-med program at Ole Miss.
