Island Records/Island Def Jam Expands Creative Opportunities for Artists Through New Partnership with Photo Finish Records ISLAND RECORDS/ISLAND DEF JAM EXPANDS CREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARTISTS THROUGH NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH PHOTO FINISH RECORDS Founder Matt Galle to Also Provide Exclusive A&R Services to Island Records August 10, 2012 - As the Island Def Jam Music Group continues to expand opportunities for artists to develop and thrive, the company has entered into a worldwide joint-venture partnership with Matt Galle’s Photo Finish Records. The announcement was made today by Barry Weiss, Chairman & CEO of Island Def Jam Motown and Universal Republic, and Mr. Galle. In addition, Mr. Galle will provide exclusive senior-level A&R services to Island Records, helping the company to further expand its reach into the marketplace as well as the opportunities it offers up-and-coming artists. “Matt Galle is a perfect fit for the new Island Records,” stated Mr. Weiss. “Cutting- edge and entrepreneurial, Matt will cast a big net in our search for the next wave of talented young artists across the world.” "I have wanted to work with Barry Weiss for years and am excited to finally be given the chance,” stated Mr. Galle. “I admire everything he has accomplished throughout his career and am looking forward to learning from his guidance. Island Records has such a great history and has put out some of my favorite releases. I can't wait to get started and look forward to working with Steve Bartels ( President & COO. Island Def Jam ) and the team on some great new records and artists." Mr. Galle launched Photo Finish Records in 2006, with a diverse roster that includes punk bands, indie-rockers, electronica acts, pop groups and hip-hop artists. The label’s artists include Denver-based pop-dance band 3OH!3, whose chart-topping Top 40 single “Don’t Trust Me,” helped the band’s gold debut album, Want, go on to sell more than six million singles combined. Other recent artists on the roster include The Downtown Fiction with over 500K singles sold; Anthony Green, whose album debuted at #27 on the Billboard 200; and New Medicine seeing a Top 15 active rock single. The label’s 15 releases to date have sold almost one million albums and 10 million singles cumulatively. In 2004, Mr. Galle co-founded the highly successful Bamboozle Festival, which has grown into a three-day festival celebrating an eclectic line-up of today’s most popular artists. Bamboozle 2012 featured Skrillex, Mac Miller, Incubus, Bon Jovi and Foo Fighters, among others. Mr. Galle will also continue in his current position as an agent at Paradigm Talent Agency, where his clients include My Chemical Romance, fun., Mike Posner and Austin Mahone, and where he discovered Bruno Mars and KE$HA. He'll also continue to co-manage producer/writer/mixer Matt Squire (Panic! at the Disco, 3OH!3, One Direction, Boys Like Girls, Big Time Rush and Selena Gomez).

  • Island Records and Notting Hill Implement Music Gateway's New
    Island Records and Notting Hill implement Music Gateway’s new Private Network Software Music Gateway has developed a new project management solution - with Island Records Dance and Notting Hill Publishing among its founding clients as well as working closely with labels such as Sire Records, a subsidiary of Warner Music Group. The Private Network offers a highly functional and secure project management system to be used in-house at music companies and beyond. "The collaborative nature of dance music means that I always have a number of records and projects in development with artists not just in the UK but around the world,” said founding client and A&R Consultant at Island Records, Dave Lambert. “Tracking the progress of these projects and the individual processes are essential, and managing my network as a whole is top priority. With Music Gateway I have my own closed network that I control, so I can make this happen in a much more effective way, saving myself heaps of time.” Each Private Network is modular and flexible, with features including: unlimited usage and network growth; unlimited file sizes, back up and storage; branded private networks and project management systems; mobile optimisation; worldwide access; collaboration and remote working tools. A number of new features have also been added to the whole Music Gateway platform including, video timeline feedback function, ability to upload and manage any file type within the workspace, and assign meta-data to all files. “The concept for the Private Network was triggered after Music Gateway was approached by a notable publishing company who were looking for a secure and functional, private project management tool,” said Music Gateway CEO Jon Skinner.

  • Invasion Del Reggaeton LA
    Invasion Del Reggaeton LA Written by Robert ID1025 Sunday, 20 March 2005 04:55 - For the first time ever, Los Angeles will be witness to the Reggaeton craze with two sold out shows at the Universal Amphitheatre in Universal City, Calif., on Saturday, April 30 and Sunday, May 1, 2005. Both shows were sold out within hours of going on sale. The two shows will feature Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, Ivy Queen, Hector El Bambino, Luny Tunes and DJ Nelson, all artists under the Machete Music umbrella. Reggaeton is the latest dance craze – a cross-culture genre of music that has hit Latin clubs in Puerto Rico; has taken a stronghold in the East Coast and has been infiltrating the West Coast the last two years. Reggaeton is influenced by Jamaican music (Reggae); salsa, merengue and by urban hip-hop music – it has been associated with the "underground" movement of urban youth in other Caribbean islands and neighboring nations, including the Dominican Republic, Peru, Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, Panama and Nicaragua. More recently, it has surfaced in the United States, particularly in areas with large Puerto Rican concentration of other Hispanics such as New York and Miami. It"s taking on a marketing approach much like that of hip-hop at the beginning, evident by the fact that many multi-platinum hip-hop and rap artists are doing Reggaeton mixes. Radio stations in the West Coast such as Power 106 (KPWR 105.9 FM), the No. 1 Los Angeles station and hip-hop leader and Super Estrella (107.1 FM), the Latin youth market leader, are "leading the pack." The genre has also taken the U.S.

  • Bea-Miller-One-Sheet-5.6.15.Pdf
    In making her first full-length album, Bea Miller’s vision was clear. A singer/songwriter whose raspy vocals and sharp-edged pop have already earned her recognition as one of iTunes New Artist Spotlights for 2015, Rolling Stone’s “10 Artists You Need To Know”, as an MTV “Artist to Watch for 2015,” and as one of Billboard’s “10 Arists to Watch in 2015,” Bea’s main ambition was to create songs that spoke the sometimes-messy truth and helped others overcome their own hurt. “When I was younger, I never felt like I had a female artist who wasn’t afraid to speak her mind, someone I could relate to and look up to,” says Bea. “Now that I’m making my own music, I want to be there for people so they can feel less alone in whatever they’re going through.” Recorded over the last year—with time out for an autumn 2014 tour with Demi Lovato—Not An Apology finds Bea fulfilling her mission by infusing her punk spirit into impassioned pop songs with a fiercely uplifting power. Featuring several tracks co-written by Bea (including her debut single “Young Blood,” a darkly charged anthem that hit the Billboard Hot 100 soon after its April 2014 release), Not An Apology mines her everyday experience for unapologetically honest lyrics about everything from bullying and backstabbers to isolation and breakup angst. “When you’re writing you have to get down to your deepest, darkest emotions, because that’s what makes a great song,” says Bea. “You need to be totally real and just put it all out there.” To capture the tension between toughness and vulnerability that propels much of Not An Apology, Bea teamed up with producers like busbee (P!nk, Kelly Clarkson), Jarrad Rogers (Icona Pop, Demi Lovato), Mike Del Rio (Kylie Minogue, Selena Gomez), and Matt Squire (Ariana Grande, Ke$ha) to craft a melody-fueled mix of gritty guitar riffs, fuzzed-out grooves, and awesomely heady beats.
