Alperowitz Upped To EVP, A&R @ Republic

• Brett Alperowitz has been promoted to Executive Vice President, A&R for Republic Records. The New York-based Alperowitz, who had served as SVP of A&R since 2015, will continue to sign, develop, and cultivate talent for Republic Records while also maintaining his role as General Manager of the iconic imprint Casablanca Records.

The announcement was made by Wendy Goldstein, President, West Coast Creative, who said, “Brett has been integral to the success of both Republic and Casablanca. He’s consistently identified, signed, and developed career artists who have left an indelible impact on music. This keen instinct and his diehard work ethic are traits that galvanize the entire A&R department. I’m honored to announce his much-deserved promotion.”

Alperowitz marked his 25th anniversary with Republic Records in 2020 — he joined the team in 1995 as the start-up’s third employee and has achieved numerous milestones at the company — he personally signed one of 2020’s biggest breakthrough artists BENEE in addition to signing multiplatinum talent such as Kungs, Milky Chance, Volbeat, and more over the years. Under the Casablanca banner, he has also aided in the chart-topping success of Felix Jaehn, SG Lewis, Tiësto, and many other international EDM superstars.

Alperowitz commented, “It’s been an incredible journey with Republic. Monte, Avery and Wendy are visionaries and innovators. I’m grateful for their continued support and leadership. Republic owes its success to our phenomenal artists and staff. Music fans have a lot of choices. We’re competing for their time and attention. Now more than ever, we are focused on developing and breaking essential artists. Our creative objectives can’t happen without an elite marketing, promotion and legal team, with whom I am extremely fortunate to work.”
