Pledge appoint US A&R
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 14 September 2010
Fan funding website PledgeMusic has appointed a US A&R chief who will recruit and work with American artists considering or using the fan-funding approach to finance their musical projects. The hire is Rose Noone, who has previously worked with the likes of Seasick Steve, The Enemy, Macy Gray and Howie Day.
Pledge MD Malcolm Dunbar told CMU: “We are delighted to welcome Rose to the PledgeMusic team. We have plans to develop our US presence over the next twelve months and the experience and track record of success that Rose brings with her will add real value to our operations there”.
Noone herself added: “This is a fantastic opportunity for me to apply my skills in an exciting and fast evolving environment. I have been extremely impressed with how quickly PledgeMusic have established themselves at the forefront of the direct-to-fan sector and look forward to working with them to further develop the company’s offering in the US”.
The first American artist who will work with Noone to raise funding through Pledge is Grammy-nominated Tracy Bonham. Noone previously signed Bonham to Island Records US back in the mid-nineties.
