A Cameo Appearance at Clayton State Today
Sort of. Actually, the Music & Entertainment Industry Student Association (MEISA) of Clayton State University is hosting a speaking engagement by former Universal/Motown Records executive Cameo Carlson on Friday, Apr. 6. However, it will be anything but a typical “cameo” appearance, as listeners will have a chance to hear an insider’s take on the music industry.
Carlson will be talking about her experiences with Motown Records, life in the music industry, opportunities for students, and her views on the future of the music industry, starting at 1 p.m., in room UC272 of the James M. Baker University Center. Her presentation will be free and open to the public.
The head of digital business development for Borman Entertainment, and the former executive vice president of Universal Motown Republic Group (UMRG), Carlson has been at the forefront of the digital music revolution from its earliest stages. From terrestrial radio to online radio to digital and mobile commerce, she has demonstrated an ability to stay one step ahead of the industry throughout her career. Her roles have included mobile, online and digital sales, product development and marketing for artists such as Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, Amy Winehouse, Lil Wayne and Jack Johnson.
Carlson has also been responsible for marketing and selling three of the 10 biggest digital albums in history, as well as breaking mobile ringtone records for first week sales, top-selling of all time and number of multi-platinum sales.
