Republic Records

Republic Records was launched in 1995 by Lipman and his brother Avery. Under Republic, the Lipman brothers launched the successful careers of artists such as Godsmack, 3 Doors Down, Chumbawamba, and The Bloodhound Gang.

Universal Republic Records

Once acquired by Universal Music Group, Lipman became president of Universal Republic Records label in 2000. Lipman’s A&R driven growth strategy welcomed Universal Records into a leading industry market share during the first year of his tenure. By 2007, the label matured into a multi-genre major with a global reach.

Universal Republic’s current roster of artists includes a host of gold and platinum artists, breakthrough digital successes and superstars including Taylor Swift, Amy Winehouse, Jack Johnson, Florence + The Machine, Colbie Caillat, Jessie J, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and Hinder.

In the mobile market Lipman integrated comprehensive digital and physical sales strategies, which produced record-breaking results with Jack Johnson and Colbie Caillat. Jack Johnson today is the biggest selling digital artist in history and the only artist with two titles breaking the all-time digital sales list.[1] Colbie Caillat’s grassroots launch on the digital networking site MySpace led to her #1 debut on iTunes within hours after her first Universal Republic release.[2]

Co-ventures and Collaboration

In 2011, Lipman announced a partnership between Universal Republic and the singing competition famous throughout Europe, The Voice, being hosted in The United States by NBC-TV. Per Lipman, Universal Republic will be the record label of recording and artist services for the show produced in America by Mark Burnett and John de Mol.[3]

Within Universal Republic, Lipman has nurtured highly successful co-ventures with such entities as Cash Money Records, Big Machine Records, Brushfire Records, and Tuff Gong by acquiring talent well-versed in the new generation of marketing, promotion and new media.

Throughout his association with Universal, Lipman has helped guide the careers of highly popular and influential artists in contemporary music, including Nelly, Lil Wayne, Elton John, Vanilla Ice, Prince, and others.

Early Life

Prior to joining Universal, Lipman was an executive at SBK/EMI and Atlantic Records, working with artists such as Hootie & The Blowfish, Jewel, Stone Temple Pilots and Collective Soul. He started his career at Arista Records, where he began his career as a local marketing manager working with such as Whitney Houston, The Grateful Dead and Aretha Franklin.

Philanthropy

Lipman serves on the committee of several non-profit organizations including UJA, TJ Martell Foundation, and LifeBeat. Lipman, along with brother Avery, were the Honorees for the 2007 TJ Martell Family Day and in 2010, they were named humanitarians of the year by TJ Martell.
