I thought I already knew this, but I think it's a new appointment so I'm not sure I could have done. A former Ministry Of Sound exec has been appointed UK MD for Bertelsmann's much previously reported new music company, BMG Rights Management.
As previously reported, the new BMG company was launched after Bertelsmann sold its half of SonyBMG to Sony Corp, and sees the German company specialising in music licensing (licensing songs and recordings) rather than releasing records themselves.
Tony Moss, who comes from a music publishing background and most recently administered publishing rights for Modest Management, will head up the new enterprise's UK operations, reporting directly to the company's CEO Hartwig Masuch, who says this: "Tony is a person with tremendous vision, drive and passion, and this appointment will give him the opportunity to make great contributions to the growth and development of the BMG Rights Management business in the UK and Ireland. We will also benefit from his extensive knowledge of the UK marketplace which is at the forefront of change in the music industry landscape".
