"Musicians often struggle because they either don't know the right questions to ask until it's too late, or feel too intimidated when sitting down with business managers and accountants. Everything I know, I learned on my own, even while paying big bucks for advice. You've got to be smart. No one likes talking money management or finances. Rodney Lee has put together a practical and informative guide." - Jody Watley, Grammy award winning multi-platinum recording artist  

A&R News April 2009

On the A&R front, there has been quite a lot of activity over the last few months. Starting with A&R moves, Keith Naftaly joined RCA from Epic and Daniel Werner joined Mercury, also from Epic. Continuing with Mercury hires, Vlad Bar joined David Massey's A&R team and over at Epic, Ian Dench joined Epic's A&R team while A&R Veteran Kaye Hyman joined Warner Bros. as an A&R Consultant. There's also been a lot of A&R activity in the UK. Triss Penna, previously with Andrew Lloyd Weber's Really Useful Group, joined Epic as Director of A&R while Shabs Jobanputra became the new President of Virgin. Steve Allen joined Warner Bros. UK, Ollie Slaney joined Parlophone and Chris McCort and Annie Christensen joined Island. Briony Turner joined A&M and Jordan Jay joined Geffen-UK from Polydor.

We're always sad to report exits from the A&R world, but Craig Winkler has left Columbia, Brian Postelle and Josh Sarubin have left Island, Donna Pearce has left RCA, and A&R Executives Cliff Cultreri, David Wilkes and Shawn Barron have left E1 (formerly Koch). Over in the UK, Steve Sasse left Atlantic, Dan Keeling left Island and Guy Langley left Warner Bros. Also, please note that all of the EMI labels in the UK have moved (EMI, EMI Classics, Virgin, Positiva and Parlophone).

"...A&R Online has been a fantastic experience for me and many of my artist friends. Since being featured on the front page, I've had at least a dozen record labels request my cd and I've established relationships with a lot of industry executives. I highly recommend A&R Online to any artist or band seeking to put themselves in front of labels. I also recommend it to labels who are looking for real, original artists. My only problem with A&R Online is.... why didn't I think of it?..." Samantha Murphy/featured artist October 1999 and October 2000
