Exec Moves

The BECAUSE MUSIC GROUP has made three key senior staff additions to its team. NICK HUGGETT joins as CCO (BECAUSE MUSIC UK), LISA RIMMER as Dir./Sales & Digital Operations and LAURA KELLY as Creative & Marketing Product Manager for LONDON RECORDS.

HUGGETT is best known for discovering, signing and developing ADELE.

CEO EMMANUEL DE BURETEL said, “It’s a great pleasure to welcome LAURA, LISA and NICK into the BECAUSE MUSIC family. LISA will strengthen our U.K. sales force significantly with her expertise and we look forward to LAURA developing LONDON RECORDS, using her creative and commercial process to breathe life back into some of the incredible albums included in the catalogue. NICK will bring a fresh and dynamic approach to A&R for the U.K. label. It's a priority for us this year to grow and develop our UK repertoire whilst staying faithful to BECAUSE’s spirit. Given his unparalleled track record of finding and developing some of the most creatively and commercially successful artists of the last 10 years, I’m confident NICK will lead the U.K. team to great success.”

Added HUGGETT on joining the BECAUSE MUSIC UK team: “I’m very excited to join BECAUSE and I’m looking forward to working with EMMANUEL and his team. In a time where many artists question the role of the record label, it’s very clear that what BECAUSE have to offer is very compelling to any new ambitious artist. I’m looking forward to help build on the success the label has had over the last few years. Having got to know EMMANUEL over the last few months, he is clearly a passionate music lover and a forward thinking business man; he’s the sort of person I want to roll with”. 

BECAUSE recently announced a new global physical distribution deal with CAROLINE INTERNATIONAL which commenced on JANUARY 1st.
