Nashville, Tenn. — February 23, 2026 — Emerging strategist and visionary thinker Meg Combs has launched artist management and creative company Nightingale Collective, with singer-songwriter Brooke Lee as its first artist signing. The announcement formalizes a working relationship between Combs and Lee that has been steadily building over the past year.

Nightingale Collective focuses on artist development, creative strategy, and long-term career building for emerging and established talent. Combs brings experience working alongside artists and industry partners, with an emphasis on cultivating authentic artistry and sustainable careers. A 2023 graduate of Belmont University, Combs began her career with Dreamcatcher Management, leading social media strategy and content development while building her foundation in tour management and operations.

“Nightingale was built on the belief that artists deserve teams who listen first, move with intention, and protect the heart of what makes them most themselves,” shares Combs. “Nightingale exists to help artists build brands that feel honest — not rushed, not forced, and never watered down. Every decision starts with trust, gut instinct, and long-term vision. Brooke’s ultimate goal is longevity. I believe in what she’s doing wholeheartedly and am excited to continue building together.”

Over the past year, Combs and Lee have worked together to establish the artist’s creative and brand foundation while expanding her industry footprint. Lee is signed to Spirit Music Group for publishing and represented by CAA for booking. She also appeared in the nationally recognized “See The USA In Your Chevrolet” campaign, further expanding her visibility through brand partnership and commercial placement.

A North Carolina native, Lee has built a reputation for distinctive songwriting and dynamic live performances, touring alongside artists including Willie Nelson, Lukas Nelson, NEEDTOBREATHE, and Ty Myers while steadily growing her national audience.

“I couldn’t be more excited to join Nightingale Collective,” says Lee. “Meg believes in longevity, intention, and developing artists from an authentic place — values that deeply align with who I am and the kind of career I want to build. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve already begun creating together, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us. Finding people who truly believe in you changes everything, and with Meg, that belief shows up in every conversation, every opportunity, and every step forward.”

Through Nightingale Collective, Combs plans to partner closely with artists to develop individualized career strategies spanning recorded music, touring, branding, and creative partnerships. The company will operate out of Nashville.
