A short while back, Sat Bisla, President & Founder, A&R Worldwide reconnected with his long-time friend Nick Shymansky, co-Founder, Day One Music, who manages burgeoning female artists Kenya Grace (Warner Records) and Lola Young (Island Records).

Prior to launching Day One Music with his business partner Nick Huggett (who discovered and signed Adele to her first-ever record deal with XL Recordings back in 2006, and introduced her to longtime manager Jonathan Dickins), Nick Shymanksy was also a talented A&R executive who was known for signing LaRoux, Jamie Woon, and the late and legendary Amy Winehouse to her first deal whilst he was 19 (Simon Fuller‘s company), and went on to be her worldwide manager for the bulk of Amy’s successful worldwide career.

Nick was also the first A&R executive in the world that was introduced to the Los Angeles-based LMFAO by A&R Worldwide’s Sat Bisla who was advising and shopping the band before they had any management, recording, or publishing deal. Nick was the first A&R guy in the world to offer LMFAO a global label deal whilst he was an A&R man at Polydor Records – the deal was negotiated at the A&R Worldwide office with Red Foo and Sky Blu; however, the band decided to pursue another offer a few months later with Island Records, U.K. However, thanks to the help of Nick Shymansky and Sat Bisla, they were introduced to Briony Turner (now co-President, Atlantic Records, U.K.) who gave LMFAO their first-ever publishing deal whilst she was at Global Publishing in the U.K.

A&R Worldwide also played a key role in helping support Nick Shymansky’s artists Story One, Fortune Drive, and La Roux with garnering key access and media support into the U.S. and other international markets for the artists.
