3 Canadians Named In Billboard’s Indie Power Players Ranking

By FYI Staff

Entertainment One Global President Chris Taylor, Reservoir Media Management co-founder and CEO Golnar Khosrowshahi, and ole CEO and co-founder Robert Ott make the list alongside such luminaries as Daniel Glass and Scott Borchetta.


The feature profiles the individuals with quotes that include Taylor’s illuminating statement as follows:

“One of the largest myths being perpetuated is the ‘irrelevance’ of the record company,” says Taylor, whose independent Entertainment One develops and distributes music, film, TV and, most recently, live content with the March acquisition of Round Room Entertainment, an event production company. Adds Taylor: “We are going to have a whole generation of musicians who [will] miss their opportunity to excel by declining the assistance of well-trained, well-financed companies that can really help a developing act take things to the next level.”
