Ashlee McDonald, Executive Producer

A California native by way of Brooklyn, East Nashville newbie Ashlee McDonald made her way to CMT after gigs in artist relations at iHeartRadio, artist marketing at Warner Music, TV production at CBS College Sports, and film development at Paramount Pictures. Currently Executive Producer of CMT Radio, she oversees content and programming initiatives, including CMT Headliners with Cody Alan, and CMT’s partnership with Vanderbilt University’s Monroe Carell, Jr. Children’s Hospital, bringing to young patients unforgettable performances and interviews with country stars at the hospital’s Seacrest Studios.

Having spent many of her formative years at her grandparents’ Texas home – and receiving her degree from Texas Christian University (GO FROGS!) - her adoration of outlaw country, Southern roots rock, whiskey, and dive bars is evident in her championing of country music’s gritty party spirit. When she’s not sampling Tennessee’s illustrious whiskey offerings at a loud gig, eating tacos, or watching a grisly true crime documentary, she can be found doing yoga with her four cats in the home studio she calls the Zen Factory.

Once, Keith Richards gave her a used pack of Marlboro Reds that were nestled up against his heart all day. It is among her most prized possessions.

Lauryn Snapp– On-Air Contributor / Producer, Digital Content & StrategyLauryn Snapp blames her bizarre “type-A” personality quirks on her Greek mother, Lisa Frank and the Girl Scouts of America. Growing up in the foothills of West Virginia, she was obsessed with music, storytelling, and finding creative ways to make music visual.

She is known for overthinking, falling into internet wormholes, and over planning. She approaches camping trips, content creation and digital strategy like a doomsday prepper, leaving no stone unturned.

Her father, known for his folklore and debated recaps of family history, still gives her his best advice with the added recommendation to “write that down and stick it in your top drawer.”

Connecting people through stories and social media is her No. 1 passion in life. Lauryn states, “if loving digital space is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.” Previously managing creative services at Warner Music Nashville was the perfect launchpad to join the wild and wonderful CMT Radio crew as their passionate creative digital strategist.

"If you like water, you already like 72 percent of me. If you like coffee, we can make it an even 100."
