“When I was approached with the opportunity to lead Ace High and build a creative culture in Nashville centered around great writers, artists, and songs it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up,” Poole explains. “My journey in town has been defined by incredible relationships within the creative community and this role allows me to continue advocating for those creating the songs that define our industry. I remain committed to the discovery of new, unique voices through which the stories of real people can be heard. We are excited to begin this new chapter as Ace High and believe that our story is only now beginning!”
Travis Ray Chaney, President and Managing Partner of Ace High Music shares, “To me, it was never a question of whether or not Chris could lead our company – for me, it was more about who he is and did we share similar values and philosophies in running a business. Chris possesses a deep understanding of the creative and business side of the industry and together, we both believe in creativity, generating results, integrity, and striving for excellence.”
