KLEIN SHINES AS RED LIGHT'S NEW GM

David Klein has joined Red Light Management as general manager. He'll be based out of the L.A. offices and will report directly to Red Light founder Coran Capshaw and COO Bruce Eskowitz.

Having served at Live Nation Entertainment, CAA and UTA, Klein has fostered rich relationships with a raft of talent and managers, something he plans to continue at Red Light.

"I'll be working with Red Light's current roster and, just as importantly, working with the managers," Klein tells us. "A lot of my charter is working on behalf of the company more so than working with the individual artist. Ultimately, my goal is to help Red Light develop new business across managers and artists and then help the firm synergize its existing resources." In case you were wondering, he has no desire to "synergize" with us.

Red Light currently reps a lengthy list of notable artists, including Phish, Luke Bryan, Ween, The Smashing Pumpkins, Dave Matthews Band, Lady A, Brandi Carlile, Lionel Richie and The Strokes, to name but a few. Even with such a massive roster, Klein is up to the task. Merely contemplating such an expenditure of energy, we confess, makes us yearn for a nap.

For now, Klein is looking forward to further telling Red Light's story as he settles in. He does admit, however, that he’s done “absolutely nothing” to celebrate his new position. He’ll let us know. In the meantime, expect him to diligently avoid our calls and emails and to ban us from the premises. Then he'll really have something to celebrate.
