Warner Chappell Music, the United States-based publishing arm of Warner Music Group, has promoted Gabz Landman to executive vice president of artists and repertoire (A&R). She will continue to report to Ryan Press, president of A&R for North America, from the company’s Los Angeles headquarters.

Landman joined Warner Chappell in 2022 and has signed two-time Grammy songwriter of the year Amy Allen, Laufey, John Ryan, Madison Beer, Lizzy McAlpine, the Chainsmokers, Delacey, Andrew Wyatt, Daniel Chetrit and Diplo, among others.

She works closely with Allen, who has scored hits with Olivia Rodrigo, Tate McRae, Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Dean. Landman set up the session for the global single “So Easy (To Fall in Love),” pairing Allen, Dean and John Ryan, and is currently working with Laufey, Diplo and Madison Beer on upcoming music. Her inaugural signing, Cal Shapiro, has become a key collaborator with Cameron Whitcomb and Alex Warren, including on the hit single “Ordinary.” Another early signing, Carrie K, recently worked extensively on Noah Kahan’s album and celebrated her first No. 1 on the Country Airplay chart alongside Koe Wetzel and Jessie Murph.

Press said:

Gabz has a natural instinct for spotting and developing talent ahead of the curve, and she brings a 24/7 hustle to everything she does that’s rare to find. Having built some of the strongest relationships in this business, she’s a real advocate for artists and songwriters, and a true leader helping drive Warner Chappell’s growth, both on the charts and culturally. She’s earned this, and I couldn’t be prouder to see this next step.
