Russ Regan is now an advisor for $SMCE.. watch this interview and see/listen to everything this guy has done, been involved with and the kind of connections/relationships/reach he has in the industry.. The guy is a legend.. but also a VISIONARY looking into the future as you can see in this video starting at about 14:50.. which IMVHO is a major reason he's now part of the SMCE team.. Bear in mind, this interview was about 4 years ago
Few really cool accomplishments:
• Signed Elton John • Signed Barry White • Signed Neil Diamond • Gave Beach Boys their name • President of UNI Records • President of 20th Century Records • President of Polygram Records • He is one of only a few record executives in the world who has had a number one record in each of four decades (1970s-2000s).
More interesting is what he's saying particularly at 14:50 - 16:00 and then tying it into what I've previously posted concerning SMCE becoming a one stop shop for artist and the digital realm. He touches on this very idea/concept 4 years ago!
