Jimmy R. Landry

Producer, Engineer, Songwriter; A&R Consultant – Cakewalk

Jimmy Landry is a New York City based Music Industry professional who has seen every angle of the business toggling back and forth from the artistic side (a producer/multi-instrumentalist/singer-songwriter (ASCAP)/engineer), to the business side. Starting out as a young touring musician from the state of Maine, he quickly found his way to NYC where he played guitar for the band that became known as Splender (Columbia Records.) A temporary job at the front desk of Elektra Records gave him a taste of "the biz" where for the next five years he worked his way up the ladder in the Radio Promotion, Marketing, and A&R Departments. In 2000, he left his employment at Elektra to sign a record deal with EMI/Priority/Capitol with his band known as "The Wine Field". More recently, he worked as a consulting A&R Rep and Producer for the Capitol Music Group where as a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, he brought a different approach to his job role. Currently, he is Cakewalk's new Artist Relation Manager and is still creatively working with various artists such as Dilana (Rockstar Supernova) and Bjorn of Peter, John and Bjorn in various capacities while continuing to consult for labels.
