    ClarkCast Chapter 35: Natalie Creel Bailey is Awesome!

    Natalie Creel Bailey is a native of Harrison County, MS, where she grew up in the Saucier area, and her family still lives in Biloxi. She lives in Nashville, where she is owns and operates Lady Savage Management and PR, a music management and public relations firm. Her clients include Amanda Shaw, who was also on a recent episode of ClarkCast. Natalie Bailey is a brand manager, music publicist, and founder of Lady Savage Management & PR, with a career rooted in both the creative and business sides of the music industry. Bailey began her professional music journey in 2006 as a teenage singer-songwriter on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. As an independent artist, she handled nearly every aspect of her career herself, from booking tours and arranging co-writes to overseeing merchandise, branding, wardrobe, music releases, copyright, and performing rights. Her work as an artist took her to respected stages and songwriter festivals, including The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville and the 30A Songwriters Festival in Florida. She also opened for and performed alongside artists including Mat Kearney, Jennifer Knapp and Shawn Colvin. In 2011, her song “To California” was named a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition, and several of her songs were licensed for use by Discovery Network, MTV, Showtime and BRAVO. Those experiences helped Bailey discover a growing passion for artist management, branding and public relations. In 2013, she moved to Nashville and began helping local artists with branding, tour booking and media campaigns. She also worked at SESAC, gaining experience in copyright, licensing and songwriter and publisher royalties. Bailey later joined a Nashville branding company, where she advanced from intern to brand manager and worked with clients connected to artists and organizations including Reba McEntire, Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, Dolly Parton, RCA Studio A, HGTV, TEDx, The Today Show, and LIONSGATE. In 2019, Bailey launched Lady Savage Management & PR, a boutique brand management and public relations firm. Through Lady Savage, she has secured media coverage for clients with outlets including CMT, American Songwriter, NPR, MusicRow Magazine, Lightning 100, Forbes, and New Noise Magazine. She has also led branding and artist development campaigns for emerging independent performers, helping connect them with Grammy Award-winning producers, SXSW official showcases, and editorial playlist support from Apple Music, TIDAL, Pandora, and YouTube Music. Today, Bailey brings the perspective of a former working artist to her role in management and publicity, helping musicians develop their brands, tell their stories and navigate the business side of the industry.
