10 Questions with ... Christine ChiappettaBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
While attending Arizona State University, I began working at KKFR (Power 92) in the promotion dept. After graduating, I moved to Los Angeles and became the Radio Editor for VirtuallyAlternative Magazine (part of the Album Network Group). This led me into radio promotion at Mercury Records in 1995, Columbia Records in 1999 and then Island Def Jam Music Group in 2001 where I remained until 2014 as the SVP Promotion, Rock Formats.
1. Congrats on your new gig! What led you to Deckstar Artist Management?
Deckstar has wanted to find the right in-house radio expert for the company for a while. I was connected with Lawrence Vavra, Managing Director at Deckstar and senior partner at YM&U, a few months ago through a recommendation by a manager that I had worked with for over 15 years. I immediately clicked with Lawrence and was very fascinated with his background and history in forming Deckstar with Matt Colon in 2007. I subsequently met with the other top executives and managers and became more and more interested in this newly created position at the company. Everyone involved wanted to make sure it was a consummate fit and it really is.
