Light headed CAA’s music department from 1998 until earlier this year, when he began a new role as managing director. During that time, he advanced the careers of superstar and fledgling clients alike, including Stevie Wonder, Beyoncé, Harry Styles, Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, Bon Jovi, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Bruce Springsteen, and became renowned for his innovative approach to dealmaking, trusted relationships with artists and ability to adjust to changes in the marketplace. The Syracuse University alumnus serves on the boards of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, City of Hope and MusiCares.

Best show you saw this year?

It was a summer of great live music, so there is never one best show, but my highlights were Springsteen at Wembley Stadium; Green Day at Wembley; Dua Lipa at Glastonbury; Zac Brown at Texas Stadium; Shania Twain at Glastonbury; Niall Horan in Denver; AC/DC in London; Bon Jovi at MusiCares; Tim McGraw at United Center, Chicago; Justin Timberlake at the Wiltern (with NSYNC)... There is nothing better than live music!
