VP Creative/General Manager

Mike Doyle began his career in the music business in Nashville at the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers in 1997. As a Membership representative his charge was to meet with songwriters daily and socially engage the creative community at night in hopes of discovering promising singers or writers who he could sign to ASCAP or switch from the main competition, BMI.
At ASCAP Mike signed writers such as Brett James, Neil Thrasher, Michael Dulaney and Chris Lindsey. Of these writers, two became ASCAP Writers of the Year, one won ASCAP Song of the Year and one ACM Song of the Year.
Mike also started the ASCAP Pop Writers Workshop, which continues today, as well as the Music Business 101 series aimed at educating songwriters and publishers about the music business. He has spoken to many college classes at Vanderbilt, Belmont, Travecca, Univ. of North Alabama and MTSU as well as having been a part of panels and song critiques for the Nashville Songwriting Association International (NSAI) and the Songwriters Guild. While at ASCAP Mike started his own songwriting workshop. Spending one night a week for 12-14 weeks each Fall and Spring teaching 10-12 writers with a focus on understanding the business of music and writing commercial songs while learning the craft of songwriting. This workshop continues today.
In 2003 Mike moved to the independent music publishing company Major Bob Music (MBM). Within three years he was named GM/VP. Here he has directed the creative movements of the company with his innovative team. He oversees all writer signings and contractual negotiations, budgets and projections and was active in the attempt to secure the recording of MBM songs on major label records such as 2010's #1 Country single "American Honey," on Lady Antebellum' s multiplatinum selling album. He has been equally involved in the identification and development of MBM songwriters and artists. Leading some to recording contracts and others to the first professional recordings of their songs.
