About Karen Brown
I presently work as a Senior Manager of Contract Administration at Universal Music Group. I've been in the Music Industry since 1995. I began with an internship at Perspective Records/A&M Records back in Summer of 1994, and then went to work at Spike Lee's retail store, Spike's Joint, for a couple of years. When that ended, I temped around at major labels until landing in the Business & Legal Affairs department, as an executive assistant, at Motown Records when it was under PolyGram. I transitioned with the label to Universal Records in the late 90's and became manager, handling sample and side artist clearances, reports to executives, tracking artist options, etc., all the while nurturing my lyric writing passion. I took some time off to raise a family and returned back to corporate America at UMG in 2010. I still have a passion to write lyrics, and work on more creative projects with other songwriters and collaborators. Its been a ride and I look forward to a future ruled by women in this industry.
