    Tommy Mottola Career

    Mottola’s early music profession started with his short-lived stint as a singer for the R&B band ‘The Exotics’ and later for ‘Epic’, under the stage name of ‘T.D. Valentine’.

    Working for a music publisher Chappell in the 970s, Mottola came across a duo called ‘Hall & Oates’ whom he convinced to fire their existing manager and sign a deal with him. During their short-lived fame, he made big money and earned 25% of the total profits made.

    Mottola later formed his own management company named ‘Don Tommy Enterprises’ which was later changed to ‘Champion Entertainment’. The company catered to distinguished clients like John Mellencamp and Carly Simon.

    Mottola was selected by CBS Records as President of Columbia Records and its domestic Sony Music subsidiary In 1987. Later it was bought by the Japanese-owned Sony Music Entertainment which led to Mottola becoming the President of the United States division of Sony Music (1990).

    Mottola then transformed the company, growing it to over 60 countries, creating one of the most successful music companies in the world. He trained and developed artists who went on to become stalwarts in the music industries namely Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Shakira, Dixie Chicks, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, and Marc Anthony.

    Mottola left Sony in 2003 and started building his own entertainment company which covered everything from fashion and theatre to music and television. He re-launched the failing careers of various artists including Marc Anthony and Lindsay Lohan and was instrumental in launching Cassie Ventura (2006) and Mika (2007).

    Mottola co-authored a novel with Cal Fussman, titled ‘Hitmaker in 2013. The novel talks about his road to success, the highs, and the lows, and what drove him in the entertainment business.

    Mottola as well produced the musical adaptation of Chazz Palminteri’s ‘A Bronx Tale’ which opened at the Paper Mill Playhouse in February 2016. The show later went on for a month and closed in March 2016.

    Mottola worked with the Miramax chief Harvey Weinstein for live theatre while his TV production arm is actively involved in developing and producing many TV shows. He currently co-owns Casablanca Records.

    Tommy Mottola Michael Jackson and Illuminati

    Mottola and Michael had a beef for a long time before the demise of the latter. As per quora.com “Motolla wanted primary professional and artistic control over Michael and other artists on his label.

    This made Michael very troubled, as Michael worked very hard to become the international superstar that he is today. Major labels will only grant artists a small amount of control even if it is the artists’ own vision-unless they are able to negotiate for more in these areas before any contracts are signed.

    You have to understand, when I said that Michael was one of the biggest stars of his generation, you would think that whenever he asked Motolla about wanting to broaden his own scope or vision and the business empire he would have trusted Michael more in these areas.

    Look at Michael’s incredible track record. He’d proven that he could outsell any artist in terms of albums and his shows were virtual sellouts in minutes.” Their beef was so great that Michael at one time described him as “The Devil” and said he “Wants to be a free agent”.
