I have been consistently blown away with her vision and subsequent execution in business as she trailblazed her way into the music industry. Through sheer grit and determination, she now holds the title of Director of Artist Relations for iHeartCountry, a division of iHeartMedia.

About Jackie Tigue:
Jaclyn Nicole Tigue was born on May 4, 1984 to Michael and Barbara Tigue. She grew up an only child in Houston, TX in the Meyerland area and attended Kolter Elementary, Johnston Middle School, and Bellaire High School. Jackie grew up playing competitive soccer and played one season of Division 1 College Soccer at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan before returning to Houston and completing her degree at The University of Houston. During her time at UH, she was a very involved member of the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority.
At the age of 24, Jackie moved to New York City after accepting an assistant job for a high-profile Houston business woman and her family. After adding other C-level assistant jobs to her resume, she landed a job assisting Bob Pittman at Clear Channel Communications in 2011, soon to become iHeartMedia. iHeartMedia has been her work home for the last 10 years with that time split evenly between New York City and Nashville, TN. In 2016, she left her assistant role in NYC and relocated to Nashville to work with the iHeartCountry team as an Artist Relations Coordinator. In her current role, Director of iHeartCountry Artist Relations, she develops multi-platform marketing plans to support artist releases, assists in artist bookings for national tentpole events, manages the iHeartCountry calendar of events and artists content requests, and more.
She is a proud homeowner, has dated her boyfriend, Toddy, for 4.5 years, and loves to spoil her dog, Nikki, with smothering cuddles.
