Island will continue under its president, David Massey. “He has positioned Def Jam, Island, Motown and Republic to where they are today - poised for even greater levels of success - and we’d love to keep him in the family.”Īs part of the reorganization, Steve Bartels, who had been president and chief operating officer of Def Jam, will become that label’s chief executive. “Barry is an exceptional music executive, and I’m enormously grateful for all of his invaluable contributions during a time of transition for our East Coast companies,” Mr. about a new venture together.” But that venture is unclear, and many in the music industry expect that Mr. Weiss had stepped down from his position “in order to enter into discussions with U.M.G. Universal’s announcement on Tuesday said that Mr. He had been hired to run the label’s New York labels, which include Republic and Island Def Jam, but that job was ill-defined, and the labels remained somewhat autonomous. Weiss - a highly regarded executive who came to Universal as part of a swap that sent Universal’s former chairman, Doug Morris, to Sony - had never found a clear role at Universal. The changes to Island Def Jam also confirmed what has been whispered about among music executives for months: that Mr. “The fact is: No matter how much we might work to build ‘IDJ’ as a brand, that brand could never be as powerful as each of IDJ’s constituent parts,” Lucian Grainge, the chairman of Universal, wrote in a note to employees on Tuesday. Among these are Interscope Geffen A&M, Republic and the Capitol Music Group, which houses labels like Capitol and Virgin that Universal acquired as part of the breakup of EMI in 2011.īut the announcement on Tuesday served as an acknowledgment that Island Def Jam no longer functioned as well as it once did. Since it was created in the late 1990s through a series of label deals and consolidations, Universal has been organized in separate divisions that each include several record labels. Instead, its constituent labels, including Def Jam (home to superstars like Rihanna and Kanye West), Island (Bon Jovi, Justin Bieber) and Motown, will operate separately, with some changes in their leadership and operations. In the reorganization, the Island Def Jam Music Group, one of the four umbrella units for Universal’s dozens of record labels, “will cease to exist,” according to a news release. Universal Music Group, the giant record company that sells almost 40 percent of the world’s music, made a series of structural changes on Tuesday, splitting up one of its major divisions and displacing Barry Weiss, the former Sony executive who was brought in three years ago to run the company’s East Coast operations.
