For over a decade, Josh Collum has been at the forefront of the post-Napster music business and has been passionate advocate for now exploding non-country music scene in Nashville.
As an independent artist, he’s had over 150 syncs in TV, film, and ads, stacked up over a quarter of a billion views on Youtube. As a publisher and entrepreneur, he built trusted and globally recognized sync licensing agency Sorted Noise, landing songs in TV shows such as Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Glee, Grey’s Anatomy, Big Bang Theory, and This Is Us, and in ads for brands such as Ikea, DKNY, Chase, and Google. This all led to a first of its kind joint venture, and catalog acquisition by world renowned music publisher, Reservoir, in 2020. Currently, Josh is the Sr. Director of Publishing at industry leading music tech company, Soundstripe, where he’s worked with brands such as Chevy, AMEX, Shopify, Delta Airlines, Clorox, Crayola, and Cracker Barrel.
In 2017, Josh and four other Nashville industry professionals and creatives founded The Other Nashville Society with the aim to bring together and amplify the growing non-country music scene in the city.
