STRICK EXITS SONY/ATV; PLATT SALUTES "CLASS ACT"

Danny Strick is exiting Jon Platt's Sony/ATV after a lengthy tenure at the pubco. The well-liked Strick, who arrived at the company in 2004 after serving at Maverick Records and BMG, most recently held the title of Co-President U.S. He was Marty Bandier's right-hand man under the previous SATV administration, and chatter throughout the biz is that Strick will be joining Bandier in a forthcoming venture.

CEO Platt issued the following appreciative note to staff:

With fondness and appreciation for his many contributions, I am sharing the news that Danny Strick is leaving the company.

When I came on board, Danny graciously agreed to maintain his leadership role in the U.S. and help with the transition. His counsel and expertise have been invaluable over the last 10 months, and I am immensely grateful for his collaboration.

Danny’s notable accomplishments during his tenure as one of the most senior creative executives at the company include major signings across multiple genres. He has worked closely with a winning team to attract and develop top-tier songwriters and producers such as Jonas Brothers, Sarah Bareilles, A$AP Rocky, Alessia Cara, Fall Out Boy, Pitbull and G-Eazy, among many others.

Track-record aside…as his colleagues, we know Danny to be an all-around class act. Let’s please show our appreciation for Danny’s 15 years of service to Sony/ATV and wish him all the best.

Platt has made a number of moves in the last several months, installing a new Nashville head, several A&R execs and heads of HR, Broadcast/Media Rights and Communications; achieving greater diversity on his team has reportedly been a major objective.
