Robert McVeety |
|
|
|
|
|
Robert McVeety has been in music publishing
for over 12 years. Cutting his teeth with Cherry Lane Music,
he started as a royalty clerk and in a few years worked his way
up to Assistant to the Vice President and General Manager. He
worked with prominent songwriters such as John Denver, Irving
Burgie ("Day-O"), Tom Paxton, Christine Lavin, Jose
Feliciano, Julie Gold ("From A Distance"), Maury Yeston
(Nine) and Frank Wildhorn ("Where Do Broken Hearts Go,"
Jekyll & Hyde). |
|
|
|
|
|
McVeety went on to spend almost 6 years
with EMI Music Publishing where he was the Director of Foreign
and Domestic Tracking. He was involved with the publishing affairs
of Sean "Puffy" Combs (P.Diddy), Aerosmith, Rodney
Jerkins, Chip Taylor, Enrique Iglesias, Dallas Austin, Lit, Matchbox
20, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Jimmy
Webb and many others. McVeety was responsible for business strategy
development and overseeing royalty collections and analyses. |
|
|
|
|
|
Resigning from EMI in June 2000, McVeety
started his own music company, Bobby Mack Entertainment Group,
where he is involved in artist management, consulting and, most
prominently, music publishing for local, independent songwriters. |
|
|
|
|
|
McVeety has lectured on music publishing
at Purchase College and NYU, and he is a member of National Academy
of Popular Music/Songwriters' Hall of Fame, Association of Independent
Music Publishers, and Association for Independent Music. He also
runs a free, monthly songwriters seminar (S.E.I.C. Seminars)
taking place at ASCAP. |
