Providing creative and A&R support across Warner’s frontline labels, in the US and beyond, the new recruits will report into Warner’s President Of Worldwide A&R Mike Caren.
Confirming the appointments, Caren told reporters: “A&R is an increasingly global undertaking, as extraordinary music can come from any part of the world, at any time. By expanding our worldwide A&R team, we grow our ability to respond swiftly to artist development opportunities and reinforce WMG’s company-wide commitment to providing the best home for the most influential and popular talent. Aton’s wide-ranging experience as a producer, artist manager and entrepreneur will make him a superb addition to the industry’s leading network of A&R executives. At the same time, Latoya’s energy and instincts will ensure she brings a fresh perspective to our collaborative creative activities”.
