Guy Oseary

Bio

GUY OSEARY began his career at Maverick Records and rose through the ranks to chairman of the label, developing a roster of artists that included Prodigy, Alanis Morissette, Deftones, The Wreckers, Paul Oakenfold, Michelle Branch, and soundtracks including The Wedding Singer, The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, Austin Powers I & II, as well as releasing soundtracks on Quentin Tarantino’s films including Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2. Oseary guided Maverick to sell over 100 million albums worldwide and secured its spot as one of the industry's leading boutique record labels.

As part of Maverick Films, Oseary produced Twilight and executive produced Rob Zombie’s first two ventures into feature filmmaking (House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects). He also serves as executive producer on “Last Call With Carson Dalyâ€�, which is currently in its 8th season, as well as on NBC's New Year's Eve which is also hosted by Daly.

In May 2004 Oseary partnered with Jason Weinberg and Stephanie Simon to become a principal in Untitled Entertainment, a top entertainment management company with offices in Beverly Hills and New York. Untitled's list of clients includes Hilary Swank, David Caruso, Penélope Cruz, Naomi Watts, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Lucy Liu, etc. In 2005 Oseary became the manager for his longtime business partner Madonna and guided her through the 2006 Confessions Tour, and the 2008 Sticky & Sweet Tour, both on the lists of the top-grossing tours of all time. In 2007 he negotiated the most talked about and groundbreaking deal in music business by partnering Madonna with Live Nation, the number one touring promotion company in the world. This move encompasses all aspects of Madonna’s music. Her latest studio album was the multi-Grammy nominated "Hard Candy" which debuted at #1 in 37 countries in 2008. His other clients include New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, a three time American League MVP who is considered by many to be the game's top player, and magician David Blaine.

In the print world, Oseary has authored three books, with a fourth due out in the fall of 2009 - a photography retrospective from his own camera of Madonna's 2008 tour titled "Madonna: Sticky & Sweet, photography by Guy Oseary." Previously he authored a photography book on Madonna’s 2006 tour, and "On the Record," which is a collection of first-hand accounts on how to break into the music industry from many of the most successful artists, producers and executives in the business today. He is also the author of “Jews Who Rock,â€� a look at Jewish influences in the music industry.
