Chris Taylor, global president of music at Entertainment One (eOne), has an ear finely tuned to talent, supporting the success of artists such as Drake, Sum 41 and Billy Talent.
I really take a lot of satisfaction in seeing artists succeed,” Chris Taylor says, reflecting on a career that’s been focused on music for almost 30 years. “Whether it’s seeing Nelly Furtado perform at the Grammy Awards or watching Drake sell out a huge show in Toronto, those kind of moments have an impact on me. Having a small role in the success of some incredible artists is an honour.”
His parents taught line dancing, so music has always been important in Taylor’s life. It wasn’t until he was in law school, however, that he began to take it more seriously and decided to try his hand at being a rock star. “We put a band together that started gaining momentum, and that’s when the light bulb went off,” he explains. “I said to myself, ‘I think I’m going to be a musician, and if I’m not as big as Bono in five years, I’ll be a music lawyer.’”
