Jason Flom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jason Flom is one of the most accomplished A&R people in the music industry. In his early career at Atlantic Records Flom was responsible for signing such artists as Zebra, Twisted Sister, Skid Row, White Lion, and Tori Amos, as well as helping launch the careers of Stone Temple Pilots and Collective Soul.

In August 2005, Flom resigned as chairman and chief executive of Atlantic Records, ending a 26 year career within the company. Flom was named chairman and CEO of Virgin Records U.S., following the departure of Matt Serletic that same month. In October 2005, Warner Music Group combined his imprint label Lava Records with its Atlantic Records Group. Warner originally planned the move following Flom's resignation.
