Belmont, ASCAP Honor Warner/Chappell’s Ben Vaughn
Belmont University’s Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business, alongside industry partner ASCAP, honored alumnus Ben Vaughn as the sixth recipient of the Music City Milestone Award (MCMA).
The MCMA celebrates Belmont’s connection with Music Row while recognizing a Belmont graduate who has achieved success in the entertainment and music industries early in their career. Previous Music City Milestone Award recipients include Beka Tischker, Ashley Gorley, Rusty Gaston, LeAnn Phelan and Carla Wallace.
“Ben does not like attention put on him… But well-deserved to celebrate his journey and impact on the music industry with his family, friends and peers,” said ASCAP’s Michael Martin.
Curb College Dean Doug Howard added, “Ben is a committed family man, an amazing publisher, a true visionary, a friend to songwriters and artists and a valued partner of the Curb College.”
Among those on hand to honor Vaughn were producer and EVP of A&R at Warner Music Scott Hendricks, former Sony Music Nashville Chairman and CEO Gary Overton and Jon Platt, president of the North American division of Warner/Chappell.
