Launchpad’s A&R Consulting division works with talent, labels, publishers, companies, and brands of all shapes, sizes, and stages of development on a variety of campaigns, identifying their objectives and formulating first-rate, individually tailored and multi-faceted solutions to help address a client’s business needs, accomplish their goals, and insure maximum return on investment.
The division is led by founder Steve Tramposch, whose experience features a number of successful titles as a Senior A&R executive for several of the world’s leading music companies, including Capitol, Virgin, Elektra, Eleven Seven, Billboard and more, where he’s been instrumental in the early discovery of numerous artists signed across multiple genres that would later result in the worldwide sale of tens of millions of albums to date.
A pioneer in the use of data in the A&R process (aka “A&R Research”), Steve also currently acts as a major label A&R consultant, and has been privileged to work with some of the biggest artists, labels and executives in the music industry.
