Talking of US based urban music operations, P Diddy's Bad Boy Records has announced that Harve Pierre has been promoted to become the label's President. The promotion means Pierre, who began work at the label as an intern in 1993, and who was most recently GM and VP A&R, will lead the finance, creative, promotion, sales, A&R and marketing divisions of Diddy's label, which is pretty much everything methinks. He will also have his own imprint within Bad Boy, to be called Crazy Joint.
Confirming the appointment, Diddy said this: "Harve's promotion to President is well deserved. He has been with Bad Boy since the beginning and has worked hard to learn all aspects of the business. He has always been an important part of the A&R process and it is only fitting that Bad Boy would house his imprint, Crazy Joint. I look forward to Harve's continued success".
