Logan quits as RCA UK MD
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 26 March 2010
The boss of Sony Music’s RCA UK division, former Bros bass man Craig Logan, has quit, because Sony UK is a soul-destroyingly depressing place to work just now. No, sorry, that’s not it. How could it be, that’s clearly not true. No, it’s because he wants to return to his former stomping ground of artist management, that’s it. And why not?
Yes, Craig will launch a new management company called Logan Media Entertainment, which will try to be one of these new-fangled multi-stream music companies, though it will be rooted in some traditional artist-manager relationships. The new company will, though, have its own record label, to be called 247 Recordings, which will operate as an imprint of Sony. So the parting of company is on good terms, and, indeed, Logan will stay on in a consulting role with RCA, though mainly to help them find a new MD for the division.
Logan said this: “Sony has been such a big part of my career, starting over 20 years ago as an artist, through my management career before joining the label as MD of RCA. I would like to thank my team at RCA who have been fantastic. I would also like to thank Rolf Schmidt Holtz, Richard Sanders and Ged Doherty for their belief and support and I look forward to continuing our incredible working relationship, both through Logan Media Entertainment and the new label”.
And then Sony UK top man Ged Doherty said this: “Craig is one of the best artist managers in the world which is why I brought him in to the company four years ago. For some time now, he has wanted to return to the world of management and I look forward to continuing to work closely with him in his new venture. I am grateful for everything he has done whilst here”.
