Aaron Bay-Schuck On Challenges and plans He has as the Warner CEO
Aaron Bay-Schuck: My heart sunk a little when I heard initially that we were going to have to do this. But as we peeled back the onion and learned more about why and what was going to come along with changing the name and the new logo, we got excited. We are, with all respect, saying goodbye to the old and looking into the future of what this company is going to be all about.
Our roster is essentially 25% of what most major record labels are. At this moment, we really don’t have many more acts than the biggest indie would have. We have really embraced the artist-first mentality in our ability to get in the weeds on things the way an indie sells itself as doing.
How would you assess the changes made thus far during your respective tenures?
TC: It’s been fun. But there was a lot of work to do when I got there and there’s still a lot of work to do. But we’ve accomplished a lot, pretty much building a whole new team. We’ve been very fortunate to attract people that were in great places and didn’t have to move. And we retained and promoted some great people, too. All of them wanted to be part of this iteration of Warner Records and help redefine the label, putting it in the position where it’s again the best record label in Los Angeles, if not the world.
We’re bringing the best parts of this great label forward and also what needs to be brought in at this moment in time. The new building — a move that had already been planned for a few years — is a big part of that. As beautiful and classic as the Burbank building was, this building and this floor represent the music business, the entertainment business and the media business in 2019 and onwards.
It’s very important to have everybody on the same floor, everybody visible, everybody connecting on a minute-by-minute basis. You can do a loop of the floor in 15 minutes, talk to 20 people briefly and connect. It’s minimized emails and minimized meetings. It’s really super productive.
ABS: Initially knowing that Tom was going to start without me made me a little nervous. It was a new partnership and I’d sort of dreamt of us walking in there on day one and doing this together. But in hindsight, thank God that he came in here a bit early. I walked in unquestionably to a much healthier company than Tom walked into. I was able to just throw myself into the deep end of the company’s creative side.
