RAINMAKERS 2020 IS COMING
Rainmakers 2020, our latest collection of stories profiling top industry players, is coming your way in Q4. To whet your appetite, we offer this tidbit from the prior edition's portrait of Columbia chief Ron Perry.
“Back in 2013, when I was in Toronto meeting with Sal and Cash [co-manager Amir Esmailian] about an emerging superstar they managed known as The Weeknd, there was one other person I would always see there: Ron Perry,” high-powered attorney Kenny Meiselas remembers. “At the time, Ron was President of SONGS, and within a few short months, I was negotiating a major publishing deal for The Weeknd with Ron for SONGS. That’s who Ron is as an executive—passionate, with incredible ears, loves music and his artists love him—all very special qualities for the chairman of a major label.”
Stay tuned for more tales of executive careers (and classic pics from our archives) in the next edition.
