Prescription Songs/Amigo Records General Manager Ashlee Gibbs has been promoted, adding Director of Operations to her title, overseeing administration of the company’s offices in Los Angeles and Nashville. The announcement was made by company founder Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald.
Ashlee Gibbs originally joined the music publishing company and record label in 2017 where her husband Clint Gibbs, one of Prescription’s original employees when the company started in 2010 as Chief Engineer and Technical Advisor, Dr. Luke’s “right hand,” worked.
Gibbs is part of an impressive female hierarchy that includes L.A.-based Head of A&R West Coast Rhea Pastricha and Head of A&R Nashville Katie Mitzell Fagan (another two original hirings) along with SVP Creative Synch Sara Walker, VP Creative Synch Megan Wood-Petersen and newly hired SVP of Business Affairs Diana Sanders as well as Bryan Trenis, Head of Finance.

With our core group of executives, we can act as a team. It’s a great working environment. There’s mutual respect, and a great deal of freedom. “I want to make people comfortable and enjoy coming to work each day, whether they’re at home or in the office. I’m here to do whatever I can to support the creative team. We all strive to make this company the best it can be all the time. And bring some fun to it at the same time.” Although Ashlee’s job is more administrative then creative, the longtime music fan – who grew up listening to her father’s classic-rock records, enjoys being privy to artist development. “Hearing a demo through the walls and seeing it recorded by an artist and become a hit is still a thrill,”
