Warner Chappell Music has promoted Gabz Landman to senior vice president, A&R.
Based in Los Angeles and reporting to Ryan Press, president of North America at WCM, Landman will continue to sign and develop talent as well as lead high-profile sessions.
Landman has spent more than a decade developing the careers of songwriters, producers and artists. In the past few years, she has curated a diverse roster, including Laufey, The Chainsmokers, John Ryan, Kenya Grace and Amy Allen, who recently won Songwriter of the Year at the 2025 Grammys.
Gabz Landman said: “I have so much gratitude for Warner Chappell. Ryan, Guy, Carianne and the entire team have continuously supported and empowered me, and I’ve had the privilege of working with the best colleagues and creators in the business, who have become like family. The songwriter and producer community have always had my heart and being in a position to advocate for them every day and elevate their careers is a dream come true. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to continue to do what I love.”
Ryan Press added: “Gabz is one of the most talented, passionate and driven A&R leaders out there. Her relentless ambition, combined with her thoughtful and intentional approach to nurturing and developing songwriters, truly sets her apart.”
Landman, who joined WCM in 2022, currently oversees a roster of talent including Amy Allen, Ian Kirkpatrick, Cleo Tighe, Elie Rizk, Nolan Lambroza, Carrie K and Justin Tranter.
She has worked with Allen for more than eight years and was key in developing her from the very beginning.
Landman also helped sign John Ryan, who co-wrote and produced eight songs on Sabrina Carpenter’s Grammy-nominated album Short N’ Sweet, as well as breakout artist Kenya Grace.
In addition, she brought on jazz singer/songwriter Laufey, who won her first Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album in 2024.
Prior to joining WCM, Landman served as VP of A&R at Warner Records and creative director at Tap Management, where she helped develop Dua Lipa.
