Max Lousada, who will be exiting his role as Warner Music CEO of recorded music on Sept. 30, penned a goodbye note to staff in a memo today.
“My entire career, from my indie roots through my 21 years here at Warner, has been guided by one simple truth: People who can make music that moves people are special,” Lousada wrote. “The world needs them. It’s a privilege to help those artists be seen, heard, appreciated and, ultimately, to succeed.”
Prior to his time at Warner, Lousada ran his own distribution company in the late 1990s before joining indie labels Rawkus Records in 2000 as European managing director, and Mushroom Records in 2002 as head of A&R.announced a major restructuring of the label group, which included news of Lousada’s exit; his last day in his post will be Sept. 30, though he will remain in an advisory capacity through January. His position within the company will not be replaced.
So I want to express my gratitude to all the artists and managers who put their faith in me and in Warner to support them.
I would like to thank Len for backing Warner, and to wish him, Robert, and the WMG leadership team every success in steering this unique and historic company forward.
