Disney’s Matt Duffy: Free Agent
• Among the large number of folks who have been caught up in Disney’s massive round of corporate downsizing is Matt Duffy, Regional Director, Promotion for Disney Music Group / Hollywood Records, who is coming to the end of a lengthy run with the company that began exactly 23 years ago today — May 15, 2000.
“It’s impossible to put into words what being a member of this unmatched team for the past two-plus decades has meant to me both professionally, but more importantly, personally,” said Duffy (pictured here with an unnamed friend). “Special thanks to Ken Bunt for his friendship and leadership these many years.” Duffy continued, “It has been a profound experience and honor to represent The Walt Disney Company. I have had the privilege to support the music and dreams of artists including Breaking Benjamin, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, BB Mak, AJR, Andy Grammer, Jesse McCartney, Hilary Duff, Jonas Brothers, Joywave, and most recently, Little Image and Almost Monday. Additionally, being in the unique position to amplify Disney Studio campaigns for tentpole releases such as The Little Mermaid, Encanto and Mulan and develop a Sports Initiative clientele from the ground up highlight the creative force of the Hollywood Promotion team. We charted our own course, and it has been inspiring.”
Prior to his two decades at Disney, Duffy spent five years with Curb Records, where he worked with a talented young artist on the verge of breaking big: LeAnn Rimes. After June 27, the Nashville-based Duffy can be reached at 615-522-7961 and duffy.CORE.Ent@gmail.com.
