Backed by lead investor GOOGLE and other investment funds, COHEN's new venture sets out to create an innovative artist development structure with greater flexibility and lower overheads to challenge the majors.
“LYOR COHEN has been one of the most influential industry players over the past decades, and he is now embarking on an exciting new venture which promises to push the envelope in terms of artist development and distribution,” said MIDEM Dir. BRUNO CROLOT. “We are thrilled he has chosen MIDEM as a platform to give the music industry a first look at his vision.”
