Co-Founder Young Music City and RNBW Collective
Emily Dryburgh began her Nashville publishing career as Creative Director and Nashville face of Deluge Music, a Los Angeles and Nashville-based publishing, management and record company. Emily’s duties included managing and developing writers and artists between L.A. and Nashville, including setting up co-writes, tweaking, cataloging and pitching songs.
In 2022 she teamed up with her twin sister Jamie on their joint venture, Young Music City, a multi-faceted Nashville-based music and culture company.
