Ashton Joins Paramour As VP/Promotion
• Veteran music industry promotion pro Jack Ashton has been named VP of Promotion and Marketing at new independent label, Paramour Records. This new venture is headed by Pres./CEO Dean Swett, an experienced music agent and manager at the Paramour Group, with distribution worldwide by MVD Entertainment Group
Commenting on the hire of Ashton, Swett remarked, “We were looking for more of a veteran promotion and marketing leader as our roster of artists leans more in that direction. Jack fits what we were looking for like a glove.” An equally enthused Ashton noted, “What an opportunity to get back in and do what I love! The team we have put together is spot-on, and I’m so charged up to get this new label rolling with great success!”
To that end, Paramour Records’ debut release is “Fury” by Bull y Los Bufalos, impacting Rock and Active Rock ASAP, with promotional efforts spearheaded by the famous Jeffrey Naumann (818-706-3864 / Jeffrey@JNpromo.com). That release will be followed next month by “Americana Soul” by The Jorgensens, to be serviced initially to Triple A (non-comm) and Americana formats by M:M Music.
