Two new recruits for Universal’s metal label
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 20 February 2014
Universal Music announced earlier this week two new appointments at Spinefarm Records, the metal imprint that has been expanding since the appointment of ex-Roadrunner man Jonas Nachsin to the job of worldwide GM last August.
The two new recruits will both be New York based, and are Maria Ouellette, who joins as Senior Director of International after four years running a consulting and marketing firm providing services to metal and hard rock acts, and Darren Dalessio, who joins from rock management firm 5B Artist Management as Director Of A&R.
Confirming the appointments, Nachsin told CMU: “After years helping to grow the careers of some of the most talented and groundbreaking artists in rock and metal, I am truly excited to be leading a label that is expanding and looking to enter into significant new partnerships. With Darren and Maria on board, and more to come, Spinefarm is the destination for artists looking for a truly global home in hard rock and metal”.
