Braun and Brains

BRAUN AND BRAINS: Scooter Braun is taking the talent he’s wrangled and masterfully spreading it around the individual UMG labels, with the explosive success of his latest label signing, PSY, whose sales ceiling appears to be unlimited, causing those skeptics who doubted that the dynamic youngster was the real deal to eat their words. Braun is part of a youth movement that is now beginning to make its mark in a business long dominated by an aging subculture whose principals’ best years are receding in the rearview mirror. Joining Braun in the next generation of movers and shakers are John Janick, Brandon Creed, Troy Carter, Jay Brown, Scott Borchetta, Mike Caren, Patrick Moxey, Nate Yetton and Cameron Strang. (9/21p)
