BMI has promoted Jessica Frost to executive director of industry relations. In her newly-expanded role, Frost will continue her work to develop and cultivate relationships with industry associations and businesses across the country that use BMI music.

Frost is based in Nashville and reports directly to Dan Spears, vice president of licensing, industry relations.

“Jessica’s ability to both educate business associations on the importance of having a music license and explaining the value that music brings to each establishment is second to none,” said Spears. “She has strong relationships in the industry and is a true advocate for our songwriters who rely on the licensing fees we collect so they can get paid for the music they create.”

Frost began her career at BMI in 1999 as a customer relations executive for the licensing team and moved through the ranks holding various positions until she was promoted to senior director of industry relations in 2013. Frost currently sits on the board of the Nashville/Midsouth Chapter of The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Frost attended the University of Florida where she received her BA.
