Do your A&R research: Tony Kiewel, Sub Pop Records
“Every A&R person has a predisposition to certain styles of music. Sending me something I have no interest in is a waste of everyone’s time. Artists should do A&R research. If I’m interested, I like to meet the artist and see if we click. That initial conversation is super-critical. I can tolerate ‘crazy’ in a very talented artist, but I won’t stand for ‘douchie.’ We don’t want anyone messing with our good vibes.”—Tony Kiewel, A&R, Sub Pop Records
