If you want to be tomorrow’s global pop star, innovative producer or next-level music executive, it kinda helps to learn from the best, at a great arts school like Tisch School of the Arts. That’s what we think, anyways.

Dan Chertoff: A&R Manager on the rise

The Dept. — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 01:16:52 +0000

In May 2008, Dan Chertoff was getting ready to graduate from The Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music. He’d also just started a new A&R gig at Canvasback, a record label headed by industry vet Steve Ralbovsky as a joint venture with Sony Music Entertainment.

Now Canvasback has jumped the Sony ship and moved over to Atlantic Records. Dan has become the first A&R exec on the label.

Dan is working on his first project: Fanfarlo, a multi-instrumentalist UK based folk/ chamber pop band with an eclectic Euro background: lead singer Simon Balthazar is Swedish and the band’s mandolin/violinist is Belgium. Fanfarlo’s debut, Reservoir, was produced by Peter Katis (The National, Interpol) and drops October 13th on Atlantic Records. The band’s spent time on the road with Snow Patrol.

Ever the multi-tasker, Dan is also a part of management venture Beekeeper Artists (also a joint venture with Atlantic), helping oversee the career Warner Bros. Records singer-songwriter Rachel Yamagata.

Fanfarlo graces the Bowery Ballroom stage tonight and The Bell House in Brooklyn tomorrow. Here’s the video for lead single “The Walls are Coming Down.“

Watch: Rioux – “Shoulderpads” video

The Dept. — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:30:38 +0000

“Shoulderpads” comes to us from rioux, the musical project from sophomore student Erin Rioux.

In rioux (yep, all lowercase), Michigan’s long legacy of experimental electronic music lives on, and the baritone vocals over quirky synth-pop also remind us of Remain in Light.

All music is written, recorded, and performed by rioux. The whimsical video is directed and produced by rioux collaborator Josh Cabrido.

Enjoy.
