Interview - Linda Perry, A&R at Custard Records US - Jan 5, 2006“Everybody is consumed by what’s a hit and what’s happening right now… what’s popular… what’s on the radio…blah blah blah. I mean, shut the f*** up! Half of those A&R guys - they’re not artists,”
… says Linda Perry, A&R at Custard Records USA for James Blunt (UK No.1) and songwriter and producer for Pink’s multi-million selling album “Misunderstood”, as well as for Christina Aguilera and Kelly Osbourne.
She started her successful ventures in the music business as the singer in 4 Non Blondes - known for the international mega-hit “What’s Up” in 1993 - and went on to release a solo record and launch her own label, Rockstar Records. It was a huge failure. Now she is one of the most wanted producers in the world, becoming the 3rd woman ever to be No.1 in the World Top 20 A&R Chart with the success of her new label, Custard Records, which signed and worked with James Blunt, the biggest selling debut European artist in 2005. Read the extensive and unique interview with Linda, with views about the ups and downs of the music business from a person who has the experience of being both a successful and unsuccessful artist and A&R. Read about her extraordinary thoughts on dealing with new artists, “paperwork”, and other A&Rs. Click here to read more |
