Range Media Partners on Tuesday announced its formation of a music publishing division headed up by industry vet Casey Robison.
Robison is just the latest to come aboard at the ever-expanding management and production company, which recently tapped William Lowery and Shawn McSpadden to help broaden the reach of label Range Music from Nashville.
He comes to Range from Hipgnosis Songs Group, where he served as Executive Vice President, A&r. Robison’s time there followed his work to cement 2020 Hipgnosis’ acquisition of Big Deal Music Group, the indie music publisher where he served as Co-President and Partner, building and overseeing the pop division, while solidifying joint ventures with Ricky Reed’s Nice Life Music and Julian Bunetta & John Ryan’s Big Family Music.

Range Media Partners on Wednesday announced its hiring of William Lowery and Shawn McSpadden, a pair of Nashville-based music industry veterans who will help it broaden the reach of label Range Music while continuing to work out of the Tennessee capital.
Lowery will serve as SVP of Partnerships and Business Development, focusing on business development ventures and content opportunities, with McSpadden to help grow the company’s already robust music division, talent roster and shared services department as Range Nashville’s first Managing Partner.
“I have known Will for years and we were always circling similar ideas. I am thrilled to have him join our team at Range to help identify IP and talent that can plug into our wider business opportunities and content plays,” said Matt Graham, who co-founded Range Media Partners and is a founding partner at Range Music. “Shawn is a newer relationship, but I knew immediately...

“Every single week of quarantine, I’ve executed a contract by signing it on my phone,” says Sony/Atv Nashville CEO Rusty Gaston. His sentiment is echoed by many other music publishers — which, even as their label counterparts slow down on new signings, are ramping up deals.
Labels are feeling the need to be protective of their resources during this uncertain and unprecedented period, and developing a new artist can appear quite risky given the current (and rather desolate) landscape. But veteran artists who are already signed need more material...

The Grammy Awards brought out some of Hollywood's biggest stars on Sunday night, but it also brought out some of our favorite celebrity families. Not only did songwriter Sean Douglas show up with his famous dad, Michael Keaton, but Diplo also brought along his sons, Lockett and Lazer Pentz, for the event. As if that wasn't cute enough, Jay Z and Beyoncé shared some sweet moments with their daughter, Blue Ivy. It's safe to say, the show was one big family affair.

Sneak Peek footage of actress Cara Delevingne ("Suicide Squad") , co-starring in the official "Call of Duty: Black Ops III" live action trailer, directed by Wayne McClammy:
"...in 2065, 40 years after the events of Black Ops II, countries around the world have developed high-tech air defenses that render air assaults useless. As such, most of the warfare between countries is done by covert operatives fighting behind enemy lines.
"Science and technology have radically changed both the landscape as well as the future of the human race, with society violently protesting and attempting to halt further advancements touted by scientists.
Military technology has progressed to the point where robotics play a main role in combat, and supersoldiers have been developed to fight in the battlefield. Humans have reached the point where they are considered to be more machine than flesh and blood..."

"Oh hello Michael Keaton's son." So tweeted Mindy Kaling after the 2015 Golden Globe Awards. But really, she was speaking for all us after we checked out the Birdman star's son, songwriter Sean Douglas, when he was name-checked in his dad's emotional acceptance speech, right? And yes, Keaton is totally aware of the fact that his 31-year-old son is attractive, and admitted he had seen Kaling's tweet about said attractiveness when he chatted with E! News' Maria Menounos on the red carpet at the 2015 SAG Awards, where he's nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama for his work in Birdman.

Michael Keaton was among this year's Golden Globe winners on Sunday night, taking the title of best actor in a musical or comedy for his stellar performance in Birdman.

Well, hello there! Michael Keaton may have won a Golden Globe on Sunday, Jan. 11, but his handsome son Sean Douglas generated inordinate amounts of buzz after cameras panned to the Hollywood scion inside the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. Birdman actor Keaton thanked family, friends, and colleagues for their support, and got extremely emotional as he spoke directly to his son seated in the audience.

When Michael Keaton won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, the 63-year-old Birdman star spoke about his son, Sean Douglas, who he called his "best friend."
"My best friend is kind, intelligent, funny, talented, considerate, thoughtful — did I say kind? He also happens to be my son, Sean," Keaton said, tears in his eyes. "I love you with all my heart, buddy."

Keaton's speech was one of the most emotional and endearing of the evening -- next to perhaps Gina Rodriguez’s after her surprising win for Jane the Virgin -- but who exactly is Keaton's son?
Sean Douglas – who goes by his father's original surname which Keaton changed due to another already famous Michael Douglas in Hollywood – is Keaton's son with late-actress Caroline McWilliams.

In case you missed it, Madonna pulled off a holiday surprise late Friday night and released six new singles from her upcoming album "Rebel Heart." This was in response to the entire album being leaked by hackers on Wednesday, Dec. 17. And, earlier in December, three other unfinished tracks found their way onto the net. In truth, those were unfinished demo tracks, but it forced Madonna and her label into action in what can only be described as a "partial Beyonce." No, the entire album with accompanying music videos wasn't released out of the blue, but six "finished" tracks were and, in some corners, the internet exploded. Unlike Madonna's previous albums, these tracks immediately made an impact on iTunes. Within 12 hours it was the no. 1 album in the Us and in 40 other countries. And, late Sunday night, it was still no. 1. Now naysayers can say it was a busy holiday weekend...

I’m really curious where this is going. Iolo seems determined to find a way to deal with his guilt and clear his conscience for what happened with Gethin and the show has made a point of saying Iolo just can’t walk away and pretend it never happened. Sion is handling his own guilt by burying himself in his religion, so what is Iolo going to do? I still think he’s going to try and help Gethin regain the ability to walk and who knows where that will lead. But wherever it goes, it’s obvious it’s going to take a long time to get there. I’ve seen several folks complaining that the story is dragging, which makes me wonder if they’ve ever watched this show before. I personally don’t mind a slow pace (soaps...

Who broke the church heater, requiring hot con Vargas to go shirtless? Could it be ... Satan? Oh, and Will and Sonny appear. Join us for the fun at 1 Pm Et.
Watching yesterday's show, as soon as Hope, Father Hottie and Vargas walked into the church office and realized the heater was broken, I knew with 100% certainty that Vargas would be shirtless (and possibly sweaty) by the end of the show. Regarding actor Sean Douglas (who plays Vargas), I knew he looked familiar, so I did some sleuthing. If you want to see more of Sean (as in, everything), check out the unrated version of the 2003 film This Girl's Life.. That's what I'm here for. You're welcome.
For now, you'll have to settle for this:
