A&R Partner (Major Label Deal Broker)

At the peak of independent artist development and music entrepreneurship, my imprint VNC Records requires an influential A&R Partner to strategically develop a publishing & major label distribution/joint venture deal.

The 2026 target is for the imprint to be assumed as a vanity label, in the style of Jay Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records, Kanye West’s GOOD Music, Adele’s XL, The Weekend’s XO and debut in the major mainstream market.

RISK REWARD

In exchange for discovery and “brokering” the deal(s), you will receive:

• 15% of all artist revenues earned over the 10 years following the signing
• a key role in overseeing the recording process, creative and commercial development

and

• a 40% milestone-based equity partner, executive role at the imprint (co-owner) to grow it into a powerful subsidiary

IDEAL CANDIDATE

• A well-connected and active A&R executive, talent scout, music producer or entertainment lawyer
• Based in England or Los Angeles
• Experience liaising with any of the Big 4 (UMG, Warner, Sony, BMG)
• Passion for finding new recording artists
• Musical ability and knowledge
• Prescience and lack of "trend following" mindset in signings like John Hammond
