Noah Goldstein has been appointed Senior Vice President of A&R for Columbia Records.
The hiring of the Grammy-winning engineer/mixer/producer in an executive role represents one of the first major moves from Ron Perry, who took over as Chairman and CEO of Columbia in January.

“I’ve been following Noah’s work as a producer for years. He complements our A&R culture and brings an impeccable creative element to our team,” Perry stated.
“I’m excited to join Columbia and to continue pushing the boundaries of the way music is created and discovered,” said Goldstein.
For the past eight years Goldstein (pictured) has worked with Kanye West & G.O.O.D. Music as a producer, A&R representative, engineer and mixer.
