Randy Phillips Launches Global Entertainment

Congrads to former CEO of +Aeg Live +Randy Phillips on the launch of his new global entertainment business. Former AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips has been tapped as CEO of Global Entertainment, a newly-launched U.S. division for London-based Global, the Media and Entertainment Group. The multifaceted, “360″-styled content company will include touring, label, publishing, artist management, branding/sponsorships and marketing divisions, with new headquarters based in Los Angeles and a London office.

Touting a “real 360 content creation company that genuinely offers a vast array of services to artists, combined with Global’s financial commitment,” Phillips believes the Global model is the way of the future. “I believe that within three to five years, all of the major labels that exist will look like Global,” he tells Billboard.

Global Radio is the U.K.’s largest commercial radio company, with national stations in every genre. Global founder/executive president Ashley Tabor has used this base to create an entertainment company that now includes Global Television and Global Publishing (Ellie Goulding, Corinne Bailey Rae, LMFAO), with the latter to be part of the Global Entertainment U.S. division under Phillips.

Phillips comes to Global Entertainment after 13 years as CEO at AEG Live, where he promoted world tours by artists such as Justin Timberlake, Bon Jovi, Justin Bieber, Kanye West, Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias, Rod Stewart, and Prince. He oversaw the expansion of AEG Live’s Festival Division (Coachella, Stagecoach, New Orleans Jazzfest) and produced films featuring Michael Jackson, Bieber and Katy Perry. In his diverse music-biz career, Phillips also managed or co-managed Stewart, Toni Braxton, Lionel Richie and Usher, and, with former partner Arnold Steifel, launched the Gasoline Alley imprint in a joint venture with MCA.

Phillips became a major player on a global stage at AEG Live, overseeing a network of regional offices and working with such ongoing subsidiaries as Goldenvoice, Concerts West, and TMG-AEG Live. Virtually out of the gate, AEG became a global touring deal competitor to Live Nation (albeit on a significantly smaller scale), with creative marketing and promotion for a wide range of touring clients. Phillips left AEG Live amid massive restructuring at the firm following the resignation of former AEG CEO Tim Lieweke, with his departure coming in a year where the firm reported best-ever Boxscore grosses totaling $1.1 billion.

Since his exit from AEG Live, the typically outspoken, highly visible Phillips has been noticeably absent from the music scene. He tells Billboard he actually signed his deal with Global on April 1 of last year, and has spent the interim fine-tuning the model and building a roster of executive talent. “Doing a startup is different than stepping into an existing job,” Phillips says, pointing out that he has launched similar ground-up businesses in AEG Live and Gasoline Alley. “Building a business from scratch is like putting together a puzzle, the pieces all have to fit. You can’t just hire people because they have great resumes, they have to be able to work with the other people you bring in.”

In that regard, Phillips has hired a team of industry pros, including executive vp/chief financial officer Chuck Ciongoli, formally of Universal music; longtime Phillips associate David Loeffler as chief creative officer; and business affairs executive Rand Hoffman. In addition, executive vice president and urban music head Garnett March brings in his own multi-faceted joint venture entertainment company in Global/The Chemists, which steers the career of Anthony Lewis. Other senior executives are also already in place, and will be announced shortly.

In the U.K., Global boasts national radio stations in virtually every genre: Capital FM (Top 40), Capital Xtra (Urban/Rhythm), Heart (Hot Adult Contemporary), XFM (Alternative), Gold (oldies), Smooth Radio (adult contemporary), Classic FM (classical) and LBC (news/talk).  Tabor has used this base to create an entertainment company that now includes Global Television (the UK national Capital and Heart video music networks) and Global Publishing, now under the Global Entertainment umbrella.

While no Global Entertainment tours or events have been announced yet, it appears the firm is positioned to compete–or partner–with Live Nation and AEG as a tour producer and promoter on a global level. Sources cited several projects in the works, and while Phillips declines to elaborate, he tells Billboard, “It’s a new age we live in. There are no absolutes any more. They always say politics breeds strange bedfellows, well, business really does.”

In addition to Tabor, Global is led by Group CEO Stephen Miron, COO Ian Hanson, and director of broadcasting Richard Park. It is chaired by Lord Allen of Kensington.

Drake Tops Elvis


Last night the Timeline may have been all shocked reactions and jokes at the expensive of Drake but today (May 30), Drake once again has laughed his way to the top 10 of the Billboard charts. The achievement moves the Hip-Hop titan pass Elvis Presley in the list of solo male acts with the most top 10 singles in history.

Appearing alongside Lil Baby on “Yes Indeed,” Drake finds himself at #6 on the charts and is his third single to do so this year. Drake now sits in the fourth spot among men chart toppers. Showing more chart dominance, Drake’s Instagram caption filled “Nice for What” returns to the number one spot on the Hot 100 chart.

Drake finds himself surrounded by elite artists and in an album’s reach of having the most Top 10s in history, a title that is currently held by Michael Jackson at 29 singles to Drake’s 26. Also ahead of Aubrey are Stevie Wonder and Elton John who are at 28 and 27 respectively. Before conquering Elvis, he passed Paul McCartney and Jay-Z.

The Billboard Hot 100 chart began on August 4, 1958. With the run Drake is on, and his Scorpion album scheduled to release sometime next month, it would not be surprising to see him dominate the male side of things by this August.

Who Will Be Named The Official King Of R&B?


R&B is far from dead. In 2019, Jacquees anointed himself the undisputed ruler of R&B and fans did not agree. Commenters mentioned Chris Brown and said he's today's true King of R&B.

R. Kelly has been named by fans consistently as they engaged in the debate over which male artist is the King of R&B. Known as "The King of Soul," Otis Redding was one of the greatest R&B singers of all time.

R. Kelly, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey help to make R&B more popular today than what it ever has been. 90's R&B performances felt more intimate. The music was so great that the artist could literally just coast their performance and the crowd would still feel it.

Kabir - Got Me Hooked #NowPlayingOnTWUM @AlwaysKabir


To understand Kabir, you first must understand that he is motivated by the confluence of two things: family and music. These two things are inextricable for someone raised as the heir to a formidable musical legacy; his paternal lineage includes the world-renowned group of Indian musicians, the Partap Brothers.

Growing up, he would often awake to the sound of the sitar, the drums, and his uncle’s singing voice—an informal education in the complex beauty of classical Indian sound. This fueled Kabir’s desire to carry on and evolve the Partap family’s musical tradition, reaching new audiences with his own blend of Pop and R&B.


Throughout high school, Kabir earned high marks and went on to graduate with a Business degree from Suny Geneseo, where he spent more time in music halls and practice rooms than on assigned classwork. Over the course of his adolescence, he developed an eclectic taste in music, spanning classical Indian styles, American classics like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Michael Jackson, and Marvin Gaye, as well as genre-bending contemporary artists like Frank Ocean and Bruno Mars.

Watch out for Kabir’s first single, “Got Me Hooked,” written and produced by Damen Heyward and Juan “Majik” Peters.

Mike Epps Ex-Wife Asking For Large Lump Sum

Estranged wife of comedian Mike Epps, Mechelle Epps, has issued her demands to bring a settlement to the divorce he filed back in January. Documents obtained by TMZ reveal the various expenses Mechelle has calculated to amount to a $109,036 tab that she is demanding he pay on a monthly basis.

Epps' wife lists his yearly earnings at $3.5 million. She claims that when their marriage hit its irreversible snag he cut her access from bank accounts and credit cards, and that she hasn't been able to support herself since. The former couple has two daughters, ages 10 and 12, whom Mechelle has drawn up a big budget to cover several thousands of dollars worth of clothes she spends on them per month, the costs of their maintenance, food, vacations and schooling at a $72,000 per year private academy.

The documents state that the girls' grandmother has been helping to care for them, and requests $3,500 monthly to compensate her for nanny duties, and $600 to cover her travel [TMZ cites that she drives a Mercedes]. In addition to the six digit monthly bill, Mrs. Epps is asking that Mike sign full ownership of their home over to her.
