Amanda Ghost lined up for exec role at Epic US
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 11 December 2008
Following the news that Charlie Walk is to stand down as President of Sony’s Epic US label, resulting in some cuts in the division’s A&R and promotions teams, news this morning that English singer songwriter Amanda Ghost is being lined up for an executive position at the imprint, possibly taking on the President job title.
This contradicts rumours that Walk’s departure might result in the Epic label in the US being merged in with Sony’s Columbia division. Sony Labels US top man Rob Stringer is reportedly personally reworking the Epic label and is advocating Ghost’s involvement.
Ghost, perhaps best known for co-penning irritating James Blunt song ‘You’re Beautiful’, is herself signed to Warner Music, who plan to release an album of her singing her own songs.
