Andy Gould, Artist Manager, Film Producer Manager/film producer Andy Gould began his career at age 15 as the messenger boy for Chappell Music. During a routine delivery to George Martin’s prestigious studio AIR London, Gould inquired about work. With that, Gould became one of AIR studios legendary “tea boys,” serving tea for some of the most prolific producers and artists of the time. He was quickly promoted and eventually segued into the world of music publishing.  He moved on to Radio Luxemburg, and then Screen Gems where he worked with Carole King, David Gates (Bread) and many other classic songwriters. Gould was sought out by CBS Publishing, and eventually joined the company in New York. During his tenure at CBS, Gould worked with Billy Joel, ELO, Kansas, and had hit records with Pat Benatar, Rainbow, and The Pointer Sisters.  In 1983 he left CBS to join Worldwide Entertainment, co-managing Kool & the Gang, Regina Belle, and The Manhattans. In 1989 Gould, along with partners Walter O’Brien and Bob Chiappardi, formed Concrete Management & Marketing, the top rock management company at the time.  At Concrete they built a solid reputation as the management force behind the some of the century’s most iconic hard rock, and defining the heavy metal landscape with bands like White Zombie, Pantera, Metal Church and Anthrax.  In 1993, Andy Gould Management was formed in Los Angeles where he continued his successful relationship with Rob Zombie - a relationship that yielded several multi-platinum albums and 7 feature films. It was during this time that he partnered with Rob McDermott on the budding career of modern rock royalty, Linkin Park. Gould also achieved platinum success with Powerman 5000, Monster Magnet, Type O Negative and Static X. In 2001, Gould partnered with The Firm where he, and Simon Renshaw, ran the music division in the company’s prime.  Gould continued to work with his own rosters, as well as working with The Firm’s impressive list of musical talents including Korn, Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias.  In 2006, Spectacle partnered with Irving Azoff’s Front Line Management Group, where their co-management of Guns N’ Roses ushered in the band’s comeback. In 2010, Andy Gould reformed his own company, Spectacle Entertainment Group. Gould also runs a label partnership with Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) called, T-Boy Records, which will serves as an umbrella label releasing new music and albums from established hard-rock bands with major followings. To date, the label has released some of the more successful albums, in recent years, for Megadeth and Eagles of Death Metal.  Gould has also firmly planted his feet in the film world as a producer. Along with a 25-year management career with Rob Zombie, he produced all of Zombie’s films including the controversial and critically acclaimed Lionsgate films House Of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects. Gould also produced Zombie’s re-imagining of the horror classic Halloween (2007) for The Weinstein Company, which broke Labor Day box office records. Gould’s seventh feature film with Zombie, horror juggernaut 31, premiered at Sundance 2016.  With years of experience and success, Gould has proved his elasticity in response to an ever-evolving technology and media landscape, with his sense of humor and ingenuity firmly in tact.
