ABOUT KATE SHIRLEY:  

Born and raised in Chicago Illinois, Kate Shirley found her way to Nashville after graduating from Columbia College Chicago in 2016. She landed her first job working as a tour manager for Monument Records recording artist, Caitlyn Smith. After learning the ins and outs of the music business while on the road, Kate was intrigued about the music business off the road as well, specifically working with songwriters. In 2019, she made the move to Liz Rose Music Publishing as their catalog manager. As her passion for songs and songwriting continued to grow, she was quickly promoted to Creative Coordinator and soon after that, Creative Director. In this role, Shirley’s responsibilities cover all things creative including song plugging, writer calendar management, and new talent acquisition. Kate helps alongside the LRM team in aiding artist development as well as A&R capacity for Liz Rose Music artists projects.
