Lorna Flowers
“Sheree’ Spoltore’ is not only one of the most experienced music industry professionals I know, she is probably the one with the biggest heart for giving of herself to whoever she is working with. She throws her whole self into whatever she is doing, for the benefit of other people. As a mentor, leader, guide, connector, songwriter, friend – or just about any other label you could add to her name, she is admirable. Her depth and breadth of knowledge comes not from books but from experience in many areas of the music business. Her care and concern comes from her faith and her big heart. She will always seek to give advice that is truly right for the person she is helping, not just what they want to hear.
Lainey Edwards
“Sheree is the “sunshine of Nashville.” She is a constant reminder of why Nashville is a great town to be living in and chasing your dreams. Even amongst the challenges of the business, Sheree points out ways to find new opportunities and to create your own success. She is knowledgeable in so many facets of the industry. She’s a go-getter, a connecter, and an inspiration. I am extremely grateful for her friendship, love and support in my career.”

Bobby Rymer
“Having personally known Sheree’ Spoltore’ for several years, I can only testify that she is one of the most dedicated human beings I have ever met when it comes to songs and songwriters. Her passion and enthusiasm for all things creative is contagious. She is of the highest morals and principals and as far as I’m concerned anyone would be fortunate to have her on their team.”
–Bobby Rymer (Writer’s Den Music Group)
Lee Johnson
“I joined NSAI in January of 2007. I met with Sheree Spoltore shortly thereafter to discuss my goals as a songwriter, learn about the music business, and create a clear set of steps to help me along my journey.
(NOTE: At this time, I had been an “indie artist” touring the country in a van with 5 guys, released 2 CD’s, playing gigs at festivals, bars, theatres etc…I was not a “newbie” to hard work. I had been a FT musician, performer, and music instructor for over 12 years. However, I was very much a newbie in the Music Industry in Nashville. I had no idea what the world of music publishing looked like, and had no clue how professional songwriters made a living, or what business models have worked in the past or going forward in the new digital age.)
Shane Barrett
“Sheree Spoltore and I have been friends for a long time, dating back to my days as a label A&R guy when she was a songplugger. I have always appreciated Sheree’s personality, her work ethic, and her tireless devotion to serving the great Songwriting community in Nashville, and around the world. She is loved and respected by many, and I have no doubt that Sheree’s current and future endeavors in the Music Industry will be strategic, efficient, and highly successful.”
Scott Joyce
“Most of my successes as a songwriter have come as a direct result of Sheree’ Spoltore’s guidance over the years. Even before she was membership director over at NSAI she and I were writing songs together. She would come over with some great lyrics and some music in mind and I’d hammer it out on the piano. She was teaching me how to co-write and I didn’t even know it. We went our separate ways for a few years while I pursued a career as a musician and she went to NSAI. The next time we met was for a one-on-one mentoring session so she could help me with my writing. She was honest with me and even though we were friends she told me the truth that my lyrics were not ready for the big-time. She didn’t stop there though, she recommended some books, some co-writers, some NSAI online tools (videos for instance) and a clear path to follow to improve.
Pam Bowen
“I met Sheree in 2012 at the Ramp Bash for the Song Ramp community and at NSAI’s Spring Training. Sheree loves songwriting, but she loves PEOPLE more. All her short video chats are more about encouraging writers to use their unique gifts and to share their true selves than about fitting their songs to some pre-determined mold. She is truly an advocate for the people she serves, welcoming them with a warm smile and encouraging them to keep writing, even though the commercial indicators are bleak. I have been on the verge of songwriter despair often, but the love radiating from Sheree Spoltore has kept me coming back to my pen. Thanks, Sheree, for believing in all of us.”
