TALKING HEADS A Talking Copyright seminar, as part of the British Black Music Month and in association with the MMF, last week tackled the question of whether copyright should be owned by creators rather than corporations. As part of the discussions the sage MMF CEO Jon Webster urged artists to keep their rights where possible. Webbo can be seen below with his panel of experts. [L-R] Peter Mason (PPL legal & business affairs executive), Jon 'Webbo' Webster (host, MMF CEO), Mark Lawrence (PRS for Music director of membership & rights), Kwaku (chair, BBM/BMC Founder), Albert Marshall (Marshall Media Business Affairs consultant).

FABLED LABELS


AWARE RECORDS Key Artists: Train, John Mayer, Five For Fighting


In 1993, Gregg Latterman founded US-based label Aware Records with the intention of finding the unsigned bands and increase their national exposure through a compilation CD. In July 1997, Aware entered into a distribution agreement with Columbia


Records and the joint venture deal was renewed in the summer of 2002. Through this relationship, Aware has released full-length albums by


artists such as Train (certified platinum), Five For Fighting (certified gold) and John Mayer (certified double platinum). Aware's most recent release is Young Love by Mat Kearney. In the fall of 1995, the label formed the inaugural Aware Tour. The first


tour lead to larger, national tours from 1996 to 1999. Aware formed a separate management division, A-Squared Management,


in October 1999, whose clients currently include Cary Brothers, Emily Hearn, Five For Fighting, Jason Lehning, Mat Kearney, Mayday Parade & William Beckett. The Aware Compilations have included music from John Mayer, Five For Fighting, Train, Vertical Horizon, Matchbox 20, Hootie and the Blowfish, Better than Ezra, Edwin McCain and The Verve Pipe. The label exists today still headed up by Latterman, with Steve Smith as VP/A&R/manager, Josh Terry - VP artist management and Leslie Mosier as executive assistant. Its current roster is singer/songwriters Mat Kearney and Zach Heckendorf.


Did You Know? Aware was the exclusive CD retailer for the H.O.R.D.E. tours from 1995-1998 and Woodstock 99.
