New Tokyo-based music firm recruits top team
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 2 November 2010
Legendary drummer Harvey Mason and UK dance pioneer James Horrocks have been appointed to the board of a new Tokyo-based music company with management, production, publishing, marketing, distribution and label services ambitions, Live Beyond.
Set up by Tokyo-based businessman Ken Fridley, who is also a drummer, he has appointed Mason to the role of Chief Creative Officer and Horrocks to the role of Vice-President. Mason will be based in LA and Horrocks in London, giving the new venture reach into three territories.
On the label management front the company is already working with house labels Farplane and Expansion House, while the new recruits will be looking for other labels and artists to work with. Although having a global focus, one of Beyond Live’s particular USPs is its strong Japanese base, which means it can represent Western acts and labels in that market.
