Dan McCarroll named President of Warner Bros Records
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 24 December 2013
Former President of Capitol Records within Universal (and when it was part of EMI), Dan McCarroll, has been appointed to the same role at Warner Bros Records US.
Warner Bros CEO Cameron Strang told CMU: “It gives me great pleasure to welcome Dan to Warner Bros Records. Enormously admired and respected throughout the music community, Dan brings a rare combination of talent and experience to our company. An accomplished musician, publishing executive, A&R man, and label head, Dan has a deep understanding of artists and record making. He is the perfect fit for our music-driven mission at Warner Bros, and I’m looking forward to working closely with him as we deliver more great records from the incredible artists on the Warner Bros label”.
McCarroll added: “I am thrilled to join Warner Bros, whose creative culture has long been a model for our industry. The company has a fantastic team, and it’s an honour to join with everyone to build on the label’s iconic legacy. I want to thank Cameron for this truly exciting opportunity; I can’t wait to get to work with everyone and make some great music”.
As previously reported, some of that music will be made by artists signed to the Parlophone label in the UK. Last week Warner Music announced that, following its acquisition of the former EMI label earlier this year, Warner Bros would represent many of its artists in the US.
