BARNETT said, “I’m thrilled that JEFF is joining our team as President of CAPITOL RECORDS. He has forged strong relationships within the artist community and has proven time and time again that he knows how to work with talent to create hit records that impact our culture in a big way. He is a tremendous addition to our CMG team and I know that everyone in the company joins me in welcoming JEFF to THE TOWER.“
UMG Chair/CEO SIR LUCIAN GRAINGE added, “We’re so pleased to welcome JEFF VAUGHN to THE CAPITOL TOWER and the UMG family. With JEFF’s strong A&R track record, he has a unique opportunity to build upon CAPITOL’s reinvigoration that we’ve seen over the past several years.”

As an A&R executive, I am driven by an intense devotion to artists and songs that defy expectation and challenge us to think differently. I could not be more excited to champion this perspective in my new role at CAPITOL."
