Smith Named Believers Dir.
He Is Rizzin: Singer/songwriter Conner Smith has been appointed the inaugural Director of Believers, a faith-based collective of music business professionals co-created by iHeartCountry Brand Coord./SVPP Nashville Gator Harrison and Warner Records Nashville Dir./Radio Accounts Lou Ramirez in 2015. "The heart of Believers, to steward the will of Jesus within country music, is something that has impacted me since my first encounter with it at CRS in 2022,” says Smith, who takes on the new role in conjunction with continuing his artist career.
