MASSEY'S ARISTA GROWS UP

Arista is gearing up to celebrate its fifth anniversary on 9/27 in New York.

The storied label, first launched by the storied Clive Davis in 1974, was reactivated by Sony in 2018 with the storied David Massey at the helm.

The "Arista Turns 5" shindig, which will take place in a beguiling NYC locale (IYKYK), will host a throng of industry folk and feature performances by Arista acts Paul Russel, Audrey Nuna and Lola Brooke. Much drinking, snacking and schmoozing is expected.

Arista CEO/President Massey has urged us to hold a West Coast version of the party, which he's suggested should be “virtual, but offline.”
