PRIMARY WAVE MUSIC JOINS FORCES WITH ANDREW JAMESON IN STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
VETERAN TELEVISION PRODUCER TO SPEARHEAD PRIMARY WAVE’S TELEVISION ENTRY
New York, NY (February 25, 2011) —Primary Wave Music, one of the largest independent music publishing, marketing and management companies in the United States, today announces a strategic alignment with veteran television producer Andrew Jameson. The partnership is based on Jameson’s ability to exclusively identify, develop and produce television and digital projects with Primary Wave artists and assets.
Primary Wave CEO Larry Mestel states, “Primary Wave could not be more excited in beginning our partnership with Andrew to help in expanding our ever-growing business. Andrew’s experience within the TV realm is the perfect fit for Primary Wave and our vision for moving forward into the television marketplace.”
Jameson was formerly President of Maloof Productions. During that time, he sold television projects to networks including HBO, ESPN, Spike, Comedy Central, E!, Speed Channel and Fuse. Moreover, he originated, developed and produced four seasons of network television from 2007-2010. As executive producer of E!’s Living Lohan, he saw the launch of a single that, without any label promotion, was a fixture on the Billboard charts for several weeks. It was this experience, and the potential of strategically harnessing quality music properties in the television marketplace, that led him to explore a partnership with Primary Wave.
Said Jameson, “I have always been intrigued by the possibities in combining the assets of a first-rate music company with the right ideas in the television and digital arenas . To have a partner in Primary Wave, a company with a stellar reputation in the music world, is very exciting. My experience in television, coupled with their phenomenal artists and assets, leaves us well-positioned for success”.
