Warner Music UK has appointed Myn Jazeel as Rhino UK’s new SVP.
He will report directly to Warner Music UK CEO Tony Harlow. The appointment is effective from November 29.
In his new role, Myn Jazeel, who was most recently senior label and industry relations manager, Amazon Music UK, will be responsible for overseeing and spearheading the marketing activity for the label’s iconic artists, including David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd and Prince.
He will also join the WMUK senior leadership team, where he will have a voice in the overall direction of the UK business.
Tony Harlow said: “I’m really excited to have been able to persuade Myn to join us at Rhino/Warner Music UK. I’ve known him for a while, and he’s a thoughtful and entrepreneurial executive who will help us grow our business.
“More and more, the streaming audience is evolving, and both deep and shallow catalogue are seeing the benefits of new audiences being attracted by the ease of voice search and services like Amazon Music. Myn has been at the forefront of driving those consumers in their music choices, and he’s going to help us create huge opportunities for our artists.”
Myn Jazeel said: “I’ve worked with Warner Music, and indeed Rhino, in many ways throughout my career; from running an agency tasked with making TV commercials for their artists, to more recently working on some great strategic partnership campaigns at Amazon Music. No matter the role, I’ve always been struck by Rhino’s unwavering commitment to delivering the very best campaigns for its artists, and I’d like to thank Tony for the opportunity to join this already incredible team – it’s an honour.”
