Rubin may be side lined at Sony
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 17 December 2008
According to the Fox website in the US, executive shenanigans at the Sony bit of SonyBMG will result in producer extraordinaire Rick Rubin being pushed out of his exec role at the Columbia label, though he is likely to be given his own imprint to compensate.
Word has it some Sony execs are a little annoyed that in his producer guise Rubin has been working on big albums for other majors.
Following the recent departure of the President of Sony’s Epic US division, Charlie Walk, Rubin’s side-lining will further increase the control Rob Stringer and Steve Barnett have over the Sony US operation.
