Reigning Phoenix Music expands into the UK

Reigning Phoenix Music have expanded into the UK!

Since forming in July last year, the label setup by music industry professional Gerardo Martinez and German tech entrepreneur Sven Bogner has grown to become a major player in the metal scene with the likes of AMORPHIS, HELLOWEEN, DEICIDE and more calling the label home.

Now, the label are expanding into the UK through the opening on its London office in Hackney and the establishment of its international division. Heading the London team is veteran international label executive Paolo d’Alessandro who has joined Reigning Phoenix Music taking the role of Head Of International, having served in similar global positions over a career spanning more than two decades in prominent rock labels.

Speaking about the news, label co-founder and CEO Sven Bogner says, “I believe that one cannot be a truly global player without having boots-on-the-ground at the very least in the three major music markets. The opening of our UK office will allow us to better serve our artists who will now have a London team working both their domestic and international campaigns. Perhaps more importantly, it will also put RPM in front of the British artist and managers community as we are eager to sign much of the great talent that hails from the UK.”

The hire also reunites d’Alessandro with label co-founder Gerardo Martinez who heads the record company’s American operations, both having previously worked together on SLAYER’s 2015 last record. Martinez shares, “international has never been so important. Every conversation with artist managers inevitably starts with ‘what is your international setup?’, a question that requires a fully-fledged team to answer with confidence that the label can deliver the level of marketing and promotion territory-by-territory that is expected of a global player. I am very happy that Paolo has joined us in this delicate role and I am looking forward to having him as a member of this label’s leadership team.”

RPM Germany Managing Director Jochen Richert adds, “I could not be happier that we now have a UK/International team to support our European efforts. We may be a young label but the combined expertise of our management team and our local staff is absolutely second to none. I advise artists and managers to give us a try, you most certainly won’t be disappointed.”
