Radio promotion veteran
Joe Riccitelli, who departed his role as co-president of RCA Records earlier this month, has launched
Gold n Retriever Entertainment, where he will work on new projects from RCA artists Miley Cyrus and Justin Timberlake, among others. I have been blessed that over the past 22 years I have been surrounded by some of the most talented artists and a passionate label family, Riccitelli told RAMP in a statement announcing the new venture. “I led promotional efforts on over 100 No. 1 songs, including 45 No. 1 songs at Top 40 alone, ranging from the incredibly successful from the gritty independent label that was Jive to the powerhouse company RCA has become over the past 11 years. I m so thankful the opportunities that were afforded me when Barry Weiss hired me to join Jive Records in 1999. I m grateful to continue working with RCA artists and beyond as I launch Gold n Retriever Entertainment.”
