JACKO TAPS CAK
The pairing, which has been rumored for several weeks, brings the CAK Entertainment CEO and former EMI/Capitol honcho into Jackson’s inner circle for the purpose of advising him on “a variety of new and exciting music and business ventures.”
One of those ventures may include bringing a new Jackson release or releases to market before the end of the year, the announcement said.
Koppelman will also reportedly direct Jackson’s publishing holdings, which include a stake in Sony ATV Music.
“I am thrilled to be working with a man like Charles Koppelman,” Jackson said in a statement. “His genius is known throughout the music and business world and I am sure
our work together will break new ground.”
Koppelman, whose music-biz career spans 40 years, got his start working for Don Kirshner and went on to form SBK Entertainment and SBK records before becoming head of the EMI/Capitol group in North America. He subsequently formed his own company, CAK Entertainment.
