Ronny Anderson’s Impact at Brouhaha Records: A Journey in A&R Management
In July 1988, Ronny Anderson’s expertise in music licensing and distribution caught the attention of the independent Canadian record label Brouhaha, where he was headhunted to serve as their A&R Manager.

Together, they signed and produced notable acts such as hard electronica band Westwon, Dennis Seaton (formerly of Musical Youth), Philip Japp, and UK Eurovision entry Live Report, which achieved chart success in the UK and garnered acclaim in the Eurovision contest.

It’s such an honor to be asked to delve into their lives and legendary careers, and I am thrilled to be invited to such a prestigious table.”

Russell’s contributions have sold nearly 20 million albums throughout his career, further cementing his legacy in rock history.
This year’s event will also showcase the theme “Bringing the Beach to the Sunset Strip,” combining the relaxed, laid-back vibe of California’s beaches with the energy of the famous Sunset Strip.
