NYU’s Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music welcomes Pete Wentz
In: announcements| events
5 Oct 2009
We’re super happy this October to be hosting Grammy-nominated musician, songwriter and creative entrepreneur Pete Wentz for our Music Entrepreneurship Series.
Illinois-born Pete Wentz serves as bassist, lyricist and co-founder of the phenomenally successive pop-punk band Fall out Boy. Fall Out Boy’s five studio albums, distributed on indie label Fueled by Ramen and major label Island Records, have generated over 12 million in worldwide sales and a string of chart hits.
Beyond his musical contributions, Pete Wentz has excelled as a creative entrepreneur. His imprint label Decaydance Records (Atlantic Records) has signed major pop acts like Gym Class Heroes, Cobra Starship, and Panic! At the Disco. His merchandising compan Clandestine Industries has delivered books, fashion and branding partnerships. Pete’s been involved in music video direction and has a film company, Bartskfull Films; his nightclub Angels & Kings has been enormously popular; he opened an art gallery; and he’s working on a comic book mini-series.
Pete will be doing a conversation event as part of our series; the event is only open to enrolled Recorded Music students.
