"Nicole Sherrill is a born and raised Nashvillian! A legacy of the music industry, Nicole always had a passion for everything music and the inner workings of the business. After receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Musical Theater from the University of Mississippi, she immediately jumped into the professional performing world working with Matt Davenport Productions. Her work took her everywhere from Hershey Park to Sea World San Antonio, to a national tour across the country. Her performing career led her back to Nashville in 2013 where she began working on her own recording project and soon joined the cast of the iconic General Jackson Showboat as a full-time singer/entertainer. In the summer of 2015, Nicole began her journey into the music business where she found her way working with Lisa Ramsey- Perkins and her independent publishing company Little Extra Music. “I’ve always had a passion for songs. The creative process of writers forming lyrics and a melody to tell a story that will touch millions of people is simply unbelievable. The joy behind connecting a song with the perfect artist is overwhelming and incredibly rewarding.” She spent over 2 years at Little Extra as Creative Director and a full-time song plugger for the company. Nicole joined the staff at MV2 Entertainment in 2017, as Creative Director. Since joining the MV2 team, the company celebrated its 5-year anniversary in 2020 with 5 #1 singles." |

NSAI COMMENTS ON DOJ ASCAP/BMI CONSENT DECREE STATEMENT
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE (January 15, 2021) – The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Anti-Trust Division head Makan Delrahim today addressed DOJ’s review of the ASCAP and BMI Consent Decrees.
NSAI has encouraged DOJ to make no immediate changes to the decrees. Rather, we advocated allowing time for the impact of the new Music Modernization act to be fully realized. This is the path DOJ took. Delrahim largely spoke about the four-year review process during the tenure. He made few specific recommendations, but the two NSAI wants to highlight are:
COMPULSORY LICENSES – He said compulsory licenses “are not the answer” and that any future changes Congress may consider should allow songwriters the ability to negotiate in the free market. This is something NSAI and songwriters have advocated for decades.
FIVE-YEAR REVIEW – He suggested DOJ consider reviewing ASCAP and BMI Consent Decrees every five years. That essentially means a never-ending review process. Such frequency should only happen with a stated goal of ELIMINATING the decrees.
Delrahim applauded ASCAP and BMI for launching their new SONGVIEW database which will allow music users/licensees to more easily find song ownership data. This is an important step NSAI joins him in praising.
NASHVILLE, TN (December 21, 2020) - NSAI is excited to share the local chapter finalists for the 2020 NSAI Chapter Challenge with Anthem Entertainment. NSAI thanks each of its members for being a part of our Virtual Chapter Challenge this November. We received 79 coordinator submissions and had 63 NSAI members that were finalists at their local chapters. Songs selected by a listening committee at NSAI will be sent to Anthem Entertainment for consideration for a single-song contract. Congratulations!
The 2021 Chapter Challenge will take place in April throughout NSAI’s 100 Regional Chapters. Any member can bring one song to their local chapter meeting and members select the winning entry. All NSAI Regional Chapter coordinators are also allowed to submit one song. NSAI narrows those songs down to a list of finalists before submitting them for consideration by the publishing partner.
NSAI BUILDING CLOSES TEMPORARILY/NSAI CHAPTER MEETINGS SUSPENDED FOR NOW
Organization Will Use Challenge to Create New Member Opportunities
As information and advice has continued to evolve, we have made the decision to stop NSAI Regional Chapter meetings for now and to close the NSAI office in Nashville to the public until further notice.
During this time, our entire staff will be working from home to offer a new level of online service to our members. All online programs and services will continue to be available and our phone lines will remain open.
Member representatives and mentors can and will continue to hold meetings via electronic means.
Please stay tuned to the NSAI website and socials for updates as we continue to navigate this difficult situation.
