In 2012, Disney Music Group announced that in conjunction with Hollywood Records, Walt Disney Records, and Disney Music Publishing, they would create a one-stop sync licensing department to streamline use of music that Disney controls. In June 2013, Patrick Clifford was named Vice President of Music Publishing and A&R for DMP in Nashville.
