MIDEM: Bandier back in business.
Just a year since departing EMI Music Publishing, Marty Bandier has made a positive impact on Sony/ATV as the publisher's global chairman/CEO. Music Week caught up with him in Midem
It is a gorgeous sunny January day in Cannes and Marty Bandier is on the balcony of his seventh floor suite in the Carlton, catching some rays and surveying the sea view below him.
The beautiful unseasonable weather is certainly helping the mood but, at this precise moment in time, life feels just great for the seasoned publisher.
"How can you not like this weather?" he gestures, trademark cigar balanced between puffs on an ashtray beside him. "It's 25 degrees in New York and here it's like 60. How bad can it be?"
It has been a while since Bandier has been to Midem, but he returns afresh - almost professionally reborn, perhaps - in what is an exciting new chapter in his already remarkable career.
In his final days as EMI Music Publishing chairman/co-CEO a year ago, he gave Cannes a miss - "I thought it was inappropriate because I already knew I was on my way out" - but now he is back in what effectively is the beginning of a focus this year on his new company Sony/ATV's UK and European operations.
"It is a beginning and it's kind of introductory," he says. "I wanted people to meet our new CFO [Joe Puzio] and our co-president of the US company Jody Gerson. I wanted US co-president Danny Strick to be seen and heard by all of the Europeans and Australians for the terrific job he's done. You need to have that communication between companies which I don't think was here before I got here and I think we're now starting to address that."
