Rob Stevenson Lands at EMI
Rob Stevenson, the former executive vice president of A & R at Universal Music Group who was also one of the people behind Ultragrrrl-branded boutique label Stolen Transmission, has landed at EMI. He’ll be president of Virgin U.S., a position which EMI’s PR people are referring to as a “key creative role at EMI in America.” While at UMG, he signed and developed acts like Fall Out Boy, the Killers, and Lady Sovereign. (Where on earth has Lady Sovereign been, anyway? Her MySpace page says she has an album coming out in “Spring 2008,” although maybe she means the Southern Hemisphere’s spring.) [EMI]
