He headed a label imprint and promotions at Capitol Records and launched the syndicated radio show 'Hollywood Live,' hosted by Frankie Crocker.
He expanded its reach by creating BRE conferences and the Drummer Awards, which were accompanied by sold-out shows in major venues around the country. Those events introduced artists including Mariah Carey, MC Hammer, Sade, Boyz II Men, Kirk Franklin, The Commodores, Naughty by Nature and Maxwell and were known for superstar performances from the likes of Bob Marley, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Tina Turner and James Brown.
His executive music career began at Capitol Records, which brought him to Los Angeles. He headed the Fame label imprint and then the company’s entire promotions department, which encompassed country, pop and R&B. Later, he became a personal manager and independent promotions expert. He spent most of his life in Los Angeles but moved 12 years ago to enjoy his children and grandchildren in Virginia.
