WAVE'S SPLASH IN THE U.K. WITH BLACK
Longtime music executive Clive Black has joined Primary Wave in the U.K. to focus on catalog acquisitions for the publisher’s IP Fund 3 and war chest.
Larry Mestel, Founder & CEO of Primary Wave Music, said, “Clive is a force in the music industry in the U.K. It’s great to have him as part of our team, providing a platform where his vast experience can continue to flourish.”
Black has run his Blacklist Entertainment for more than a decade, consulting on business and A&R, plus managing his father, lyricist Don Black. He is producing Rehab The Musical, written by his brother Grant Black and poet Murray Laughlin Young, scheduled to opens in London in September 2022.
Black was in charge of Primary Wave's London office when it opened in 2012.
Active in the music industry since the early 1990s, Black held A&R jobs at Island Records, EMI Records and Warner Music before becoming Managing Director of EMI in 1995.
After leaving EMI, he set up Blacknight with Sir Cliff Richard and Blacklist Entertainment, which he eventually based at Trevor Horn’s Sarm Studios. Horn appointed Black President of his SPZ, which he left in 2011 to restart Blacklist.
