Executive Action Spinning At RECORDS
• RECORDS, the boutique indie label founded by Barry Weiss, announced the elevation of Andrew Saltman to Senior Vice President, Artist Development, and Sara Gil to General Manager of RECORDS and RECORDS Nashville.
Saltman (left), who joined RECORDS in 2017, most recently served as VP of Marketing & Digital Strategies, where he conceptualized and steered major campaigns for female pop artist Slayyyter and Country singer-songwriter Ty Myers, to name a few. In his new SVP role, Saltman will spearhead a newly reorganized department which will now include both traditional marketing and digital departments for both labels.
“Working under Barry’s leadership over the past decade has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to step into this next chapter as SVP, Artist Development,” said Saltman. “I look forward to continuing to champion career artists, helping them grow, evolve, and navigate an ever-changing music landscape.”
Sara Gil (right) was Barry Weiss’ first hire when he launched RECORDS in 2015, and she was also key in supporting the transition of RECORDS from SONGS Music Publishing to Sony Music in 2017. In her new GM role, Gil will oversee label operations for the RECORDS New York and RECORDS Nashville offices. She will also continue to handle deal negotiations for new artist signings, budget allocations & strategic release planning, alongside Saltman.
“I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to have spent so much of my career learning from Barry Weiss, whose leadership and vision have had a profound impact on my professional growth,” Gil remarked. “It’s a privilege to be part of RECORDS, a company that not only champions exceptional talent, but is genuinely committed to developing artists and building enduring careers.”
Weiss commented, “Andrew and Sara have each played an instrumental role in the growth and success of RECORDS and RECORDS Nashville over the years. Andrew brings an exceptional instinct for artist development and marketing, while Sara has been a trusted strategic and operational leader since day one. Their passion for artists, entrepreneurial spirit, and commitment to building long-term careers embody everything we stand for at RECORDS. I’m incredibly proud to recognize their contributions with these well-deserved promotions.”
