Primary Wave opens UK office
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 20 April 2012
US-based independent music publisher Primary Wave, which also has marketing and management divisions, has announced it is opening an office in the UK to be headed up by Clive Black. The move will presumably see Primary Wave seek to further expand its European operations.
Black, who has run his own music business Blacklist Entertainment since 1997, having originally worked in A&R at both EMI and Warner, confirmed his new involvement in Primary Wave UK yesterday, telling CMU: “I’m excited to join the Primary Wave team and look forward to building a stronger presence, and opening new opportunities for their artists, writers and producers”.
Meanwhile the firm’s CEO Larry Mestel added: “Now is the perfect time to bring in a European partner to expand resources overseas and Clive is a force in the British music business”.
